Application: | Trypan blue applications include:• it is a routinely used for viability testing for diverse cell types including frozen sperm and aortic muscle cells exposed to antifungal agents. • employed as a collagen stain in a Van Gieson procedure • To stain amyloid, Trypan blue is considered as a blue alternative to Congo red in Puchtler-Bennhold stains. • used as a fluorescent tracer of cell populations in embryology • used as a tumor promoter modulating permeability of lysosomal membranes Trypan Blue solution has also been used in the cytotoxity tests and to determine the vital cells for the analysis of cell division. |
Biochem/physiol Actions: | Trypan Blue is excluded by most living cells, but can be taken into phagocytes and certain other cells. |
General description: | Trypan Blue is a tetrasulfonated anionic, hydrophilic azo dye derived from toluidine. The non-permeable cell membrane dye is a vital dye that selectively stains dead or non-viable cells, that pass through damaged but not through intact cell membranes. |
