Toluidine Blue

Construct a chemical structure model of the dye Toluidine from Genuine Molymod Model Parts by Indigo

Toluidine Blue is a thiazine derivative and is a RedOx dye compound. It is also referred to as TB O dye and is used in histology and cytology. It preferentially stains acidic materials such as mast cells & cartilage which helps differentiate cell and tissue structures when viewed under a microscope. Come this structure the 2 other isomers p-toluidine (para) & m-toluidine (meta).

A molecular model of Toluidine Blue in the Molymod Hybrid Dome style uses the atoms & bonds in the parts list below. Our free 3D Molecular Model Builder shows other styles & allows for image rotation as an assembly guide.
