Brilliant Cresyl Blue : Use & Applications

Brilliant Cresyl Blue is a supravital hematology stain for counting reticulocytes in peripheral blood smears It is also used as a vital stain for demonstrating the mucous secretions of the marine coelomates. Brilliant Cresyl Blue is mainly used for the selection of oocytes. It is also used for the staining in reticulocytes, where the dye stains reticulin. Certified as a supravital stain for reticulocytes. The structure of Brilliant Cresyl Blue ALD contains a 2-methyl modification on the phenoxazine core, while the structure of the historic Brilliant Cresyl Blue contains an 8-methyl modification on the phenoxazine core. The biological staining application is the same for both structures. Brilliant cresyl blue is a reactive dye that is used as a model system for mitochondrial membrane potential. It is injected into the oocyte and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is performed to detect mitochondrial functions. The dye can be detected with optical sensors, which are sensitive to UV light. When the dye migrates from the mitochondria to the cytoplasm, it can be detected by UV-sensitive sensors. This process can help scientists determine if there are any defects in mitochondrial membrane potential.

    frequently asked questions

    We ship free-of-cost samples (freight free) for all our products. In fact, we recommend to approve a pre-shipment sample before purchase of product.
    The globally accepted specifications of Merck, Sigma-Aldrich and ACS are the benchmark for all our products. And we surpass the benchmark for all our products.
    We provide all the technical assistance in testing the product by providing detailed Method-of-Analysis, standard spec copy, any benchmark data if available. We also, assist with live testing of the product. We do not believe in room for ambiguity, hence, all assistance is provided till customer is satisfied with the end result.
    With a team of profound expertise, we have hands-on experience of closely working with Unilever, Milliken, DKSH, Biosynth, Sigma Aldrich (now Merck) and many more industry leaders to jointly develop some exceptional and one of the most innovative Healthcare products.
    Almost all of the products are available in stock in bulk quantities. In a rare case, we take a couple of weeks for preparation.
    We strive to provide the purest form of the compound. However, we welcome our customer’s in-house specs and try our best to suffice their in-house spec compliance.
    Yes, we gladly welcome the procurement and R&D team to visit our manufacturing facility for audit and even to run trials for product development and application. What are the various streams of products manufactured by you?
    We started with a couple of pH Indicators and Biological Stains, but over the last 40 years, we have expanded to Life Science products, pH Indicators, Complexometric Indicators, and even Specialty Colors which have a specialised performance driven application.
    We have a dedicated 1600 sqft research and development division for development of different molecules belonging to color changing chemistry which help in development of innovative end-use applications in different products.
    We are extremely sensitive towards the environment and polluted water generated from processes is self treated using MVR distillation process at our facility ensuring zero discharge.
    We generally submit quotes of freight. On approval, we dispatch goods and keep consignee updated with shipment status at every step. Alternatively, we also ship on customer’s courier account.
    We usually submit a Pre-shipment Sample to customer for quality approval. Although, most customer prefer a simple COA approval, but we insist on sample approval to avoid all post-commercial shipment hiccups.
    Though, its a rare case (Since all products are mostly ready in stock), we usually intimate buyer of the lead time for preparation of the product. Buyer is updated with the status from time to time. Once product is ready, a PSS is sent for quality approval. On approval, we dispatch the product.
    For every inquiry of the product received, we send the pre-shipment sample representing the lot for quality approval. Only after approval, the commercial shipments are dispatched. Any issues in the quality of the product are resolved at the sampling stage. For the test of the sample, all assistance is provided from our end, with sufficient data and documentation. This has helped us fireproof the quality-related issues and have faced negligible rejections so far.
