Description

Acid Red 87, also called Ink Red A or Weakly Acid Red A is a great acid dye. It is a red powder that is easily soluble. It forms a yellow-green fluorescence when dissolved in ethanol and water.

Acid Red 87 becomes yellow when exposed with concentrated sulfuric acid. After dilution it turns into a light yellow precipitate. Acid Red 87 is slightly blue when stained by copper ions. It becomes dark blue when stained by iron ions.

The name sodium fluorescein is more commonly known as Acid Red 87. This is a type xanthene color with unique physical properties. Its strong fluorescence is the most notable physical property. It appears in the solid state as an orange-red or reddish-brown amorphous or crystalline powder. This indicates that its molecular structures are very effective at absorbing specific wavelengths of visible light.

Acid Red 87 dissolves easily in water and forms a solution that is clear with a strong yellow-green fluorescence. The aqueous color changes from yellow-pink depending on concentration.

It is also soluble in polar organic solvents like ethanol but almost insoluble in nonpolar solvents. This characteristic of solubility is due to the sodium carboxylate and polar group hydroxyl in the molecular structures, which makes it easy to form hydrogen bond with water molecules.

Acid Red 87 also has a relatively low photostability. Long-term exposure to ultraviolet light can lead to photochemical degradation, resulting in a gradual fading of the fluorescence. It is therefore recommended that you store the solution in darkness.

Acid Red 87’s physical state is also affected by the pH value. The ionization of Acid Red 87 in water changes as pH increases, and this in turn influences its fluorescence spectrum. Fluorescence intensity is highest under alkaline conditions.

The application of Acid Red 87

Acid Red 87. The fluorescence properties of sodium fluorescein are almost exclusively responsible for its value. It absorbs high-energy ultraviolet or blue light in an aqueous solvent and releases low-energy fluorescence that is highly sensitive to the human eyes.

1. Core applications of medical diagnosis

This is the classic and most important application of Acid Red 87. It is mainly focused on the diagnostic of ophthalmic or vascular disease.

Acid Red 87 is used in Acid-Red Angiography, which is a non-replaceable application. Fluorescein sodium is circulated throughout the blood vessels of the body after intravenous administration. Specialized photography equipment can record and observe the real-time dynamics of dyes flowing through retinal veins, arteries and capillaries by using certain wavelengths of blue lights to irradiate a fundus.

Healthy blood vessel walls do not permit the dye to escape. The dye will leak out of the damaged blood vessel in cases such as macular degeneration or diabetes retinopathy. It may also form bright fluorescent spots when there is inflammation, vascular obstruction, or other abnormalities. This exam is the best way to diagnose blood circulation disorders, related diseases of retina and choroid and other abnormalities. It is considered one of the gold standards for ophthalmic diagnostics.

Acid Red 87 can also be used in ophthalmology to assess damage to the cornea and conjunctiva. It has been used in ophthalmology to measure blood circulation, and in surgery such as cholecystectomy to identify anatomical structures of the bile canal and to prevent accidental injury.

2.Life Science Research and Testing Tools

Acid Red 87, a sensitive and safe tracer and marker is used widely in scientific research.

Acid Red 87, which is highly water-soluble, has a high detection sensitivity and is relatively harmless to the environment. It can be used to study surface water mixing and diffusion, as well as to determine groundwater flow directions, velocity and leakage pathways.

A fluorescence meter can accurately monitor the concentration of dye upstream and reveal the pattern of flow.

Researchers used Acid Red 87 in the lab to measure the permeability and intercellular communication of cell membranes. They also used it as a fluorescent indicator to monitor the flow and distribution liquids within complex systems. It is a useful tool to study the transmembrane transportation of substances because it cannot penetrate the entire cell membrane.

Acid Red 87’s fluorescence intensity can be used as a fluorescent marker because it is sensitive to factors like pH and heavy metal ions. In some biological detection experiments it can be used to quantitatively analyze the target substance using specific enzymes that cause fluorescence enhancement or quenching.

3. Marking applications for industry and public safety

Acid Red 87, a bright fluorescent red color, is also used in a variety of industrial and public safety products.

Acid Red 87 is a life-saving tool. Small bags of sodium-fluorescein powder are commonly included in aviation rescue kits. If a pilot, crew member, or vessel falls into water, it will dissolve quickly and create a bright yellow-green fluorescent area.

The fluorescence is a stark contrast to the seawater’s blue background, increasing the likelihood of being detected from the air and distant ships. This gives valuable time to rescuers.

Acid Red 87, which has the same fluorescent properties as Acid Red 52 is also used to print anti-counterfeiting documents, receipts and branded goods. Under normal lighting, these markings will appear as pale yellow or not at all. However, under the light of an ultraviolet banknote inspection lamp, the bright green fluorescence is visible.
