Sudan III (CI no. 26100)
Sudan III (CI No. 26100) powder is used in in vitro diagnostics, histology and scientific laboratories. It is a fat-soluble dye used in the staining of triglycerides and lipids. Sudan III shows particular suitability in the visualization of lipids in tissue sections and cellular preparations.
Chemically, Sudan III is classified as an azo dye that is dissolved in a mixture of alcohol and water to produce a staining solution. Its molecular formula is C22H16N4O and its structural formula includes azo groups, which are responsible for its characteristic orange-red color.
The chemical properties of this dye allow it to interact selectively with lipophilic components of cells. It binds to lipids and is therefore used to highlight lipophilic structures, rendering them orange-red.
