What is Aniline Blue? It is a synthetic dye that belongs to the class of triarylmethane dyes. It is characterised by its vibrant blue colour and is soluble in water, where it forms a deep blue solution. Aniline Blue is commonly used in histology and microscopy for staining purposes, particularly in the identification of connective tissue, collagen, and various cellular components. It is also used in the textile industry and as a pH indicator in specific laboratory applications. Alternate names for Aniline Blue (chemical formula C₆₆H₆N₃Na₃O₉S₃) include Solvent Blue 1, Acid Blue 113, and Aniline Black.

Shipped from Manchester, UK Facility: Sourced and packaged in non-toxic, chemical-resistant containers to ensure safe handling and preserve product quality during transport.

Frequent Uses

Histology and Microscopy
Commonly used for staining tissues in histological studies, particularly to highlight collagen fibres in connective tissue. It is especially useful in identifying and differentiating collagen-rich structures, and is employed in various staining protocols, including Masson’s Trichrome stain.

Textile Dyeing
In the textile industry, it is employed for dyeing wool, silk, and other fibres. Its ability to produce a rich blue colour makes it popular for creating vibrant textiles, particularly in the production of fabrics with specific colourfastness requirements.

pH Indicator
Can also function as a pH indicator in certain laboratory settings, particularly for solutions where a colour change from blue to green or yellow is needed depending on the pH range of the solution.

Biological Research
It is often used in microbiology and cell biology for the visualisation of specific cell structures or to stain bacterial cells. Aniline Blue provides clarity in microscopic imaging, helping researchers observe cellular details more effectively.

Collagen Detection
Highly effective in staining collagen, making it an invaluable tool in detecting and studying connective tissue disorders, fibrosis, and in understanding tissue regeneration processes in biological research.

Diagnostic Applications
Used in diagnostic techniques for the identification of certain diseases and abnormalities in tissue samples, especially in conditions related to collagen overproduction or fibrosis.

Molecular Biology Research
Also used in molecular biology applications, particularly in protein analysis and purification, where it helps to identify and visualise the presence of proteins or other biomolecules in a sample.
