Product Information

• Name: Crystal violet lactone
• Synonyms: 3,3-Bis(p-dimethylaminophenyl)-6-dimethylaminophthalide6-(Dimethylamino)-3,3-bis[p-(dimethylamino)phenyl]phthalide
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Crystal violet lactone is a hydroxylated derivative of crystal violet that has been shown to exist as a stable complex with metal chelates. The chemical stability of this compound is related to the presence of the hydroxyl group, which can be used to form hydrogen bonding interactions. Crystal violet lactone has been shown to react with p-hydroxybenzoic acid in an electron transfer reaction, resulting in the formation of stable complexes. This chemical property makes it useful for flow assays, such as those used for the detection of glucose in blood plasma.
