Useful in the staining of Negri bodiesIndigo carmine is used as a food colorant, pH indicator and dissolved ozone indicator. It is used to detect amino fluid leaks, highlight portions of the urinary tract, tissue stains and tool for the determination of hypochlorite. As a dye in renal function, it is used in testing and detection of nitrates and chlorates, and in the testing of milk.
This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
