    Product Description:
    Mordant Red 3, also known as Alizarin Red S, is a water-soluble anthraquinone derivative. It is a synthetic organic compound characterized by its sulfonated structure, which imparts good solubility in aqueous solutions. The compound typically appears as an orange-red to brown powder. Its primary and most significant application is as a biological stain and histochemical dye in laboratory settings. It is widely used for the specific staining of calcium deposits in tissues (von Kossa staining) and for the detection of calcium in various biological samples. Beyond life sciences, it serves as a mordant dye for textiles, particularly for dyeing wool and silk with aluminum, chromium, or iron mordants to produce red shades. It also finds use as a pH indicator, changing from yellow (pH 3.7) to violet (pH 5.2). As a functional anthraquinone derivative, it is also of interest as a precursor or model compound in the research and development of organic dyes for advanced materials, including potential applications in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) and other photoelectronic systems due to its light-absorbing properties.
