Description

Alizarin red is used in histology and medicine to stain calcium-containing specimens, e.g. bones and calcifications. Chromogenic substrates for enzymes based on alizarin have been developed and, as an example, alizarin-beta-D-galactoside (Aliz-gal) has been reported for the detection of bacterial beta-galactosidase by researchers at the University of Northumbria and the Freeman Hospital, Newcastle upon Tyne in the UK (James, 2000).
