Oil Blue N is a metal-based dye that is used in analytical chemistry as a visual stain for fatty acids. It is soluble in organic solvents and thus can be easily dissolved in an organic solvent before being applied to the surface of the sample (e.g., animal tissue). The dye particles are cationic, which allows them to bind to the anionic sites on the surface of the sample. This binding causes the particles to aggregate and form polymer films, which emit light when excited by a laser or other light source. The intensity of this light emission depends on the concentration of Oil Blue N present and can be detected using a spectrophotometer. Sample pretreatment includes washing with water or acetone, followed by drying to remove any excess liquid.
