Product Description: Indigo carmine is widely used as a dye in various medical and industrial applications. In the medical field, it is commonly employed as a diagnostic agent during surgical procedures, particularly in urology and gynecology. It helps in identifying the ureteral orifices by staining the urine blue, aiding surgeons in ensuring the integrity of the urinary tract during complex surgeries. Additionally, it is used in endoscopic procedures to highlight abnormalities in the gastrointestinal tract, such as ulcers or polyps, by providing a contrasting color. In histology, it serves as a staining agent to differentiate tissues under microscopic examination. Outside of medicine, indigo carmine is utilized in the textile industry for dyeing fabrics and in the food industry as a color additive, though its use in food is limited due to regulatory restrictions. Its vibrant blue color also makes it a popular choice in laboratory experiments and educational demonstrations to illustrate chemical reactions and diffusion processes.
