Evans blue has been used to check cell viability. It has been used to study BBB permeability.

Packaging

10, 50, 100 g in glass bottle

Biochem/physiol Actions

Evans blue is a non-permeating dye. In presence of plasma membrane damage, the dye enters in the cytoplasm and nucleus, thereby staining them blue. Evans blue is used for checking cell viability. It is also used to study BBB (blood-brain barrier) permeability. The dye binds to albumin and hence indicates BBB breakdown to protein.
