Sudan 3 Solution Extra Pure is a ready-to-use liquid staining agent containing Sudan 3 dye dissolved in organic solvents. It is widely used in laboratory settings for staining lipids and fats in biological samples for microscopic analysis. The solution provides intense red coloration and is also used in textile dyeing, printing, and cosmetic applications where vibrant red color is required. Due to the solvent content, it is flammable and must be handled with appropriate safety measures. Proper storage in sealed containers, protected from light and heat, ensures stability and effectiveness.
