Product Description
Resazurin Sodium Salt (C₁₂H₆NNaO₄) is a blue, redox-sensitive dye widely used as an oxidation–reduction indicator in biological, biochemical, and analytical applications. This compound serves as a reliable cell viability and metabolic activity marker due to its ability to be irreversibly reduced to pink resorufin in the presence of active cells or reducing agents.
With high sensitivity, low toxicity, and excellent water solubility, Resazurin is a preferred choice for assays in microbiology, cytology, toxicology, and biochemistry. It is also utilized as a reagent in redox titrations, enzymatic studies, and analytical chemistry.
