XYLENOL ORANGE - Introduction

xylenol orange (also known as methyl orange) is an organic compound with the chemical formula C14H14N3NaO3S. It is an oxalate dye with an orange pigment.

xylenol orange is commonly used to stain biological tissues and cells, and is widely used in histology, cytology and immunohistochemistry. Because of its good staining effect and visibility, the dyed material can be clearly observed under a microscope.

The preparation method of xylenol orange mainly includes two steps: firstly, the azo compound is prepared by the condensation reaction of 2-methylaniline and ketone, and then it is reacted with sodium benzenesulfonate to obtain xylenol orange. The synthesis method is relatively simple and is often used in laboratory synthesis.

When using xylenol orange, you need to pay attention to its safety. xylenol orange is an organic dye that may have an irritating effect on the skin, eyes and respiratory tract. Therefore, appropriate personal protective equipment such as gloves, face shields and goggles should be worn during operation. In addition, it should not be exposed to outdoor sunlight for a long time to prevent it from fading. xylenol orange should also be kept away from combustibles and fire sources and stored in a dry, well-ventilated place.
