Xylidyl Blue I sodium salt; sodium (E)-3-((3-((2,4-dimethylphenyl)carbamoyl)-2-hydroxynaphthalen-1-yl)diazenyl)-4-hydroxybenzenesulfonate; CAS No.: 14936-97-1;Xylidyl Blue I sodium salt. PROPERTIES: Xylidyl Blue I sodium salt is a blue crystalline powder with a molecular formula of C31H30N5NaO6S and a molecular weight of 623.67 g/mol. It is freely soluble in water, forming deep blue solutions. Storage should be at room temperature in a tightly sealed container. Safety precautions include avoiding skin contact and eye exposure due to potential staining and mild irritation. APPLICATIONS: Xylidyl Blue I is a pH indicator and protein-binding dye used in biochemistry. In electrophoresis research, it serves as a tracking dye during polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, allowing visualization of protein migration patterns (source: Analytical Biochemistry). The sodium salt form enhances its stability in aqueous solutions. Additionally, it functions as a protein stain in PAGE gels, providing sensitive detection of protein bands through its ability to bind hydrophobic regions of proteins (source: Journal of Chromatography A).
