| Description | Rhodamine 6G is one the most effective laser dyes in recovering latent prints on various non-porous surfaces. This dye is normally used on non-porous surfaces, but may, under certain conditions, be used on porous or semi-porous surfaces. Rhodamine 6G is extremely efficient as it is highly fluorescent and can be used with various alternate light sources.
Rhodamine 6G has been used as a leukocyte marker to study the interaction between leukocytes and the vascular endothelium. It has also been used to label platelets. |
| Chemical Properties | dark reddish purple, brown or black crystalline solid |
| Uses | Rhodamine 6G (R6G) is an organic laser dye and can be used to study the probes as it has a high quantum yield for fluorescence. It can be used as a fluorescence tracker which helps in defining the spectroscopic characteristics for achieving a high conversion efficiency and precision of measurements. The absorption of R6G in different solvents can range between 400-700 nm. |
| Uses | Rhodamine dyes are used extensively in biotechnology applications such as?fluorescence microscopy,?flow cytometry,fluorescence correlation spectroscopy?and?ELISA. |
| Uses | Rhodamine 6G has been used as a leukocyte marker to study the interaction between leukocytes and the vascular endothelium. It has also been used to label platelets. |
| Application | R6G can be used as a cationic dye to determine the photocatalytic ability of TiO2 reinforced graphene oxide composites that can be potentially used in self-cleaning applications. It can be used to calculate the quantum yield of glutathione-capped copper nanoclusters (CuNCs) for fluorescent thermo-responsive nanomaterials and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) for fluorescent/X-ray computed tomography. |
| Preparation | 3-(Ethylamino)-4-methylphenol and Phthalic anhydride to afford the product was obtained ethanol and an inorganic acid esterification; O-Methylaniline with ethylene oxide Alkylation , sulfonated, alkali fusion, and Phthalic anhydride condensation, and then use ethylene oxide esterification. |
