محلول متیلن بلو 1.0٪

Methylene Blue Solution 1.0% is a deep blue aqueous solution containing 1% methylthioninium chloride. It is widely used in laboratories for staining, microscopy, and as a redox indicator.

🏭⚗️ Production
This solution is prepared by dissolving methylthioninium chloride in purified water to a final concentration of 1%. The resulting liquid is dark blue and is stored in tightly sealed containers to protect it from light and contamination.

🔬 Properties
Methylene Blue Solution appears as a clear, deep blue liquid. It is water-soluble and has redox-sensitive properties, meaning it can change color depending on oxidation state. It typically has a pH around 3.0 to 4.5 and is stable under normal storage conditions. The dye strongly binds to biological tissues, allowing for enhanced contrast under a microscope.

🧪 Applications
This solution is commonly used in histology and microbiology as a staining agent for cells and tissues. It highlights cell nuclei and other structures, aiding microscopic visualization. It is also used in redox reactions as an indicator and in educational labs to demonstrate cellular processes. In medical and diagnostic contexts, it can assist in procedures such as leak detection and tracking dye studies.

⚠️ Safety
Methylene Blue can cause staining of skin, clothing, and surfaces. Direct contact may cause irritation to eyes or skin. It should be handled with gloves and protective eyewear. Though considered relatively low-risk in dilute solutions, proper laboratory hygiene and storage are essential.
