1,9-Dimethyl-methylene blue zinc chloride double salt is a fluorescent dye that has been used in the study of hyaluronic acid and mesenchymal stem cells. The compound absorbs light at a wavelength of 580 nm, which is the same as the absorption wavelength for hyaluronic acid and mesenchymal stem cells. 1,9-Dimethyl-methylene blue zinc chloride double salt can be used to measure the amount of these compounds in tissues. This dye also shows sensitivity to artifacts such as hemolysis and lipemia, making it useful for research purposes.
