Methylthioninium Chloride is a dark green to dark brown solid powder. Its aqueous solution is sky blue.

Its core characteristic is the dual nature of REDOX coloration – it remains stable blue in an oxidizing environment and turns colorless under reducing conditions.

The medical field focuses on specifically marking nerve and lymphoid tissues during the operation to enhance the accuracy of the operation.

The blue staining phenomenon of body fluids is used to assist in identifying ureteral fistula or bladder integrity, providing visual support for medical assessment.

At the same time, it can regulate the function of peripheral nerve ion channels to alleviate perceptual abnormalities and play a regulatory role in the microbial environment. It should be stored away from light.

Function:Detoxification and anti-inflammation

C16H20ClN3OS

Methylene Blue is a reversible redox indicator that cycles between oxidized (blue) and reduced (colorless/leuco) forms. This unique property, combined with its ability to cross biological membranes, makes it valuable for mitochondrial research, neuroscience, and antimicrobial studies.
