Solvent Violet 59 CAS 6408-72-6

Introduction

The solvent violet 59, also known as the infrared absorbing dye Sudan Black B, is an organic dye. The following is a brief introduction to its nature, uses, manufacturing methods and safety information:

Quality:

- Solvent violet 59 is a black crystalline powder, sometimes appearing blue-black.

- It is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol, acetone, and dimethylformamide and insoluble in water.

- Solvent Violet 59 has excellent IR absorption performance, exhibiting strong absorption peaks in the wavelength range of 750-1100 nm.

Use:

- The solvent violet 59 is primarily used as a dye in biochemical research for coloring and detecting biomolecules such as lipids, proteins, and cell membranes.

- Due to its infrared absorption properties, it is also widely used in infrared spectroscopy, microscopy, histology research, and other fields.

Method:

- Typically, solvent violet 59 is prepared by mixing Sudan black B with an appropriate solvent (e.g., ethanol) and heating it, followed by crystallization separation to obtain a pure solvent violet 59.

Safety Information:

- Avoid inhalation or contact with the skin to avoid dust generation. In case of accidental contact, rinse with plenty of water.

- When storing, it should be kept tightly sealed, away from fire and oxidants.

- Solvent violet 59 is an organic dye and it is important to use and handle it correctly and comply with relevant safety regulations.
