Description
A family of red organic dyes derived from phenazine. Safranine dyes are used for textiles (Wool, Silk) and Leather without a mordant. They are also used as biological stains for bacteria in a Gram's test.
- Safranine O = CI 50240; Basic Red 2
- Safranine T = CI 50240
Synonyms and Related Terms
Basic Red 2; Safranine O; safranina (Esp.); CI 50240; safranin; saffranine; phenosafranine
Risks
- Contact causes irritation.
- ThermoFisher: SDS
Physical and Chemical Properties
Soluble in water and alcohol.
When concentrated sulfuric acid is added to a safranine solution, it will change from red to violet to blue to green. Once green, water can be added to dilute the solution and the colors will change back in reverse order.
