Nile blue chloride

Nile blue chloride is a highly fluorescent and photostable organic dye. Nile blue chloride and fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) can be used to construct a ratiometric pH sensitive probe for tracking the pH of the extracellular fluid between cancer cells in realtime. Nile Blue chloride has the potential for the research of nonlinear optics[1][2].
