Acriflavine Hydrochloride Powder

Acridine Dye for Research, Microbiology & Molecular Studies

Catalog Number: AS-2037
CAS Number: 8063-24-9

Overview

Acriflavine Hydrochloride is a synthetic acridine dye derivative with a long-established role in microbiology, molecular biology, and biomedical research. It is characterised by its bright orange colour and strong binding affinity to nucleic acids, properties that underpin its use as a fluorescent staining agent and antimicrobial research compound.

Historically used as an antiseptic dye, acriflavine has more recently gained attention in oncology and antiviral research, where it has been investigated as a biologically active small molecule under controlled laboratory conditions. Today, Acriflavine Hydrochloride is widely employed in research laboratories, aquaculture research studies, and microbiological investigations.

Ausamics Acriflavine Hydrochloride is supplied for laboratory and research use, with controlled quality and documentation.
