Solvent Oil Red 24 OSH Extra Pure

Whatsapp Order

Solvent Oil Red 24 OSH Extra Pure is a bright red lipid-soluble dye widely used in biological staining, histology, and lipid analysis. Its high purity grade ensures consistent performance in laboratory and industrial applications including cosmetics and plastics. It dissolves readily in oils and organic solvents but is insoluble in water. Proper handling and storage are essential due to its suspected carcinogenicity and moderate toxicity to aquatic life.
