Technical Specifications & Chemical Profile

Research Applications & Storage Protocols

Triphenylmethane Dye with Mitochondrial Enhancement and MAO Inhibition Profile

Methylene Blue functions as a triphenylmethane dye with multiple research applications, serving as a water-soluble synthetic compound with vibrant blue color that forms deep blue solution when dissolved, widely used as biological stain for microscopy and histology applications, redox indicator (oxidized blue form, reduced colorless form), and mitochondrial electron transport chain enhancer that alters electron flow and increases ATP production. Methylene Blue is a monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitor with potent inhibition properties, used as methemoglobinemia treatment agent that reduces methemoglobin to hemoglobin at low concentrations (high concentrations convert ferrous iron of reduced hemoglobin to ferric iron which results in formation of methemoglobin), and demonstrates antiseptic and antifungal properties valuable for diagnostic and therapeutic research. The compound shows absorptivity 1%, 1cm at λ Max 633.0nm of 2200–2750, melting point 190°C, and is soluble in water and DMSO, making it valuable for investigators studying mitochondrial function, oxidative stress, biological staining protocols, histology, neurochemistry, MAO inhibition mechanisms, methemoglobinemia treatment, antiseptic/antifungal mechanisms, and triphenylmethane dye chemistry in in vitro and in vivo experimental models.

Handling & Storage Guidelines

• Long-Term Storage: Store at room temperature in tightly sealed UV-resistant glass bottle, away from heat, light and moisture; formulated and packaged to prevent evaporation in storage

• Solubility: Supplied pre-dissolved in deionized water at 10mg/mL; soluble in water and DMSO; metallic dark blue liquid appearance

• Caution: Stains easily; handle with appropriate laboratory protective equipment
