Sudan III by Research Lab Fine Chem Industries is a high grade reagent. This organic compound is a lysochrome (fat-soluble dye) diazo dye. The reagent is available as a powder which is soluble in water. Structurally, Sudan III is related to azobenzene. While it is stable under general conditions, this reagent is incompatible with strong oxidizing agents. CAS No.: 85-86-9 Quantity Provided: 25 gm per bottle Molecular formula: C22H16N4O Molecular weight: 352.39 Assay: 85 Sudan III has a variety of applications in chemical and biological sectors. It is majorly used to color non-polar calamaro substances like oils, fats, waxes, greases, various hydrocarbon products, and acrylic emulsions. It is recruited to distinguish low-taxed heating oil from automotive diesel fuel, and to mark fuels with higher sulfur content. It is additionally utilized to dye some hydraulic fluids and some other hydrocarbons, predominantly gasoline. Sudan III is also a biological stain used for the staining of triglycerides in frozen sections, and some protein bound lipids and lipoproteins on paraffin sections. This reagent is suitable for industrial synthesis of products and research applications.
