• Synonyme: 2,6-Diphenyl-4-(2,4,6-triphenyl-1-pyridinio)phenolate
• Marke: Biosynth
• Beschreibung: Reichardt’s dye is a heterocyclic amine that is used in the detection of DNA damage. It reacts with the phosphate groups on DNA and forms a red-colored product. The optical properties of Reichardt's dye are also influenced by pH, water vapor, and solvent polarity. Reichardt's dye absorbs ultraviolet light (UV) at wavelengths of 260-270 nm and can be dissolved in hydrochloric acid or sodium hydroxide solution. This dye is primarily used to detect genotoxic impurities, such as solvents, fatty acids, and fatty acid esters, which can cause mutations during the production of pharmaceutical drugs. A potential use for this dye is to detect impurities in food products such as meat or fish. These molecules may cause genetic mutations when ingested by humans, leading to cancer or other diseases.
