Alizarin Red S Indicator (4.3-6.3), IND

Alizarin red S indicator (C.I. 58005) is a reductively active (quinone-based) anthraquinone dye that forms complexes with metal ions (such as zirconium, calcium) or boric acid to label calcium deposition and perform electrochemical sensing functions. Alizarin Red S undergoes reversible redox reactions (for electrochemical detection) and irreversible chelation (for bone staining) . Alizarin Red S is mainly used in bone metabolism research (labeling mineralized tissue), sugar detection (boric acid-sugar competition system) and metal ion sensing (such as zirconium ion detection), and can be used in osteoporosis and metabolic disease research[1][2][3].
