Overview

Methylene Blue is a synthetic thiazine dye widely used in laboratory, microbiological, biochemical, and industrial research applications. Supplied as a dark green to bronze crystalline powder with a characteristic metallic lustre, it exhibits excellent solubility in water and organic solvents, making it suitable for a wide range of experimental workflows.

In laboratory settings, Methylene Blue is commonly used as a microscopy stain, redox indicator, and analytical reagent. Its well-characterised redox behaviour and strong colour intensity make it a versatile compound for research, teaching, and method development.

Ausamics Methylene Blue Powder is supplied in high-quality laboratory grade, offering consistent colour strength, purity, and batch-to-batch reliability.
