Neutral Red Solution Extra Pure is a high-purity, ready-to-use solution of the pH indicator dye Neutral Red, widely employed in biological, biochemical, and analytical laboratories. Known for its distinct color change—red in acidic environments and yellow in alkaline—it is commonly used to stain lysosomes in viable cells, making it invaluable in cell viability assays, cytotoxicity studies, and microscopic cell structure investigations.
This Extra Pure grade ensures excellent clarity and precision in results, especially in sensitive microbiological and histological procedures. It is frequently used in conjunction with culture media to observe metabolic activities and in vital staining techniques to differentiate between live and dead cells. Proper handling involves storing it in tightly sealed amber containers away from light and heat to maintain its stability and effectiveness.
Neutral Red Solution Extra Pure
PRIMARY USES
- Biological stain for lysosomes and live cell imaging.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE):
- Wear a lab coat, nitrile or latex gloves, and protective safety goggles.
- Use a fume hood or ensure adequate ventilation during handling.
Handling:
- Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing.
- Do not breathe vapors or mist.
- Use only in well-ventilated areas.
- Wash hands thoroughly after handling.
Storage:
- Store in a tightly closed container in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated location.
- Protect from light, heat, and incompatible substances such as strong oxidizers and acids.
FIRST AID MEASURES
Inhalation:
- Move the exposed person to fresh air.
- Keep at rest and seek medical attention if respiratory symptoms persist.
Skin Contact:
- Wash affected areas with soap and plenty of water.
- Remove contaminated clothing and seek medical advice if irritation develops.
Eye Contact:
- Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes.
- Remove contact lenses if present and easy to do.
- Continue rinsing and seek medical attention if irritation persists.
Ingestion:
- Rinse your mouth thoroughly with water.
- Do not induce vomiting.
- Seek medical attention immediately.
FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Flammability:
- Not classified as highly flammable, but components may be combustible.
Extinguishing Media:
- Use water spray, dry chemical, carbon dioxide (CO₂), or alcohol-resistant foam.
Hazardous Combustion Products:
- May emit toxic fumes such as carbon oxides and nitrogen oxides upon thermal decomposition.
Firefighter Protection:
- Firefighters should wear self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) and full protective clothing.
Avoid inhalation of combustion vapors.
