Gallocyanine belongs to the oxazine class of dyes. It is synthesised from methanol solution of gallic acid in the presence of excess iodine. Gallocyanine is used to stain animal cells, mostly the nucleic acids. It also acts as a chelating agent and is used to determine bioactive compounds and several metal ions.

Note

Wherever possible, you should prepare and use solutions on the same day. However, if you need to make up stock solutions in advance, we recommend that you store the solution as aliquots in tightly sealed vials at -20°C. Generally, these will be useable for up to one month. Before use, and prior to opening the vial we recommend that you allow your product to equilibrate to room temperature for at least 1 hour.
