Methylene Blue
Methylene Blue (methylthioninium chloride) research compound supplied as a pack of 50 x 20mg compressed tablets.
Supplier documentation available on request. Independent reports are published where held — see current lab reports.
Overview
Methylene Blue (methylthioninium chloride) is a synthetic phenothiazine compound with well-characterised redox chemistry, long used as a laboratory stain and studied as an electron cycler in the mitochondrial respiratory chain. It is supplied here as a research reference material in compressed-tablet form — a pack of 50 tablets, each 20mg.
It is studied in vitro and in preclinical models for mitochondrial electron transport, cellular energy metabolism and redox behaviour, and is widely used as a histological and microbiological stain. It is supplied as a research reference material and is not for human or animal consumption.
