Rose bengal

    WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

MedKoo CAT#: 584153

CAS#: 632-68-8

Description: Rose bengal is a bright bluish pink compound that has been used as a dye, biological stain, and diagnostic aid. It is commonly used in eye drops to stain damaged conjunctival and corneal cells and thereby identify damage to the eye. The stain is also used in the preparation of Foraminifera for microscopic analysis, allowing the distinction between forms that were alive or dead at the time of collection.
