Methylene blue is a common biological stain used in microscopy to visualize structures such as nuclei, bacteria, and cell components. Methylene blue analytical research grade refers to a high-purity form of the dye that is suitable for use in research applications where accuracy and reproducibility are important.
Research-grade methylene blue is typically manufactured to meet strict quality control standards, ensuring a consistent product with minimal impurities. This form of methylene blue is often used in microscopy applications such as staining tissue samples or identifying microorganisms.
