Neutral red (toluylene red, Basic Red 5, or C.I. 50040) is a eurhodin dye used for staining in histology. It stains lysosomes red. It is used as a general stain in histology, as a counterstain in combination with other dyes, and for many staining methods. Neutral Red is a weak cationic azine dye that is used extensively as a nuclear stain in a variety of biological stain applications. It is a pH indicator as well, changing color from red to yellow over the pH range 6.8-8.0. It is also incorporated into bacteriological growth media.
Applications:
The high-purity neutral red is a common lysosomal probe that stains lysosomes a fluorescent red.A hydrochloride obtained by combining the free base of neutral red with one equivalent of hydrochloric acid. Neutral red acts as a pH indicator, changing from red to yellow between pH 6.8 and 8.0.It is used to stain embryonal tissues and supravital staining of blood. Can be used for staining Golgi apparatus in cells and Nissl granules in neurons. In microbiology, it is used in the MacConkey agar to differentiate bacteria for lactose fermentation. Neutral red can be used as a vital stain. Live cells incorporate neutral red into their lysosomes. As cells begin to die, their ability to incorporate neutral red diminishes. Thus, loss of neutral red uptake corresponds to loss of cell viability. It is also used to stain cell cultures for plate titration of viruses. Neutral red is added to some growth media for bacterial and cell cultures. It usually is available as a chloride salt.

Methyl orange does not have a full spectrum of color change, but has a sharper end point. Methyl orange shows red color in acidic medium (pH < 3.1) and yellow color in basic medium (pH > 4.4)
Applications:
Methyl orange is also used in dyeing and printing textiles as a dyestuff. Also used as an indicator of acid-base titration, and the alkalinity of the water. Also for textile dyeing. Methyl orange is a pH indicator frequently used in titrations. Because it changes colour at the pH of a mid-strength acid, it is usually used in titrations for acids. Indicators are weak acids or bases which change color depending on the pH of the solution. Because they have such vivid color changes, only small amounts of indicators must be added to a solution which also limits any side effects they might have on the reaction being observed. Methyl orange is a pH indicator frequently used in titrations. Methyl orange is also used for histological microscopy.At pH values less than 3.1, methyl orange is red and a pH values greater than 4.4, it will be yellow. In the range between 3.1 and 4.4, you will see a mixture of the red and yellow colors such that in the middle of this range, the solution will appear to be orange. Since acidic solutions have low pH values, it will be red and transition to orange and yellow as the acidity of the solution decreases. In basic solutions, it will be yellow as well as in neutral solutions because the pH of a neutral solution is approximately 7 and falls after the color change of methyl orange.
Solubility
Soluble in acetone, alcohol, acetic acid (red color), and dillute aqueous alkali (blue-violet color). Insoluble in water.
Once used as a food colouring but now banned throughout the EC Cudbear is a dye extracted from orchil lichens that produces colours in the purple range. It can be used to dye wool and silk, without the use of mordant. Cudbear was the first dye to be invented in modern times, and one of the few dyes to be credited to a named individual. Orcinol is extracted from archil lichen, Rocella tinctoria. It is then converted to orcein by ammonia and air. Orcein is a reddish-brown dye, orchil is a purple-blue dye. aminoorceinimines.
Applications:

Trypan blue is a diazo dye used in ophthalmic cataract surgery to stain the anterior capsule in the presence of a mature cataract, to aid in visualization, before creating the continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis. Trypan Blue is an acid azo dye commonly used as a stain to distinguish viable from non-viable cells. It turns dead cells blue and viable cells unstained. It is a known animal carcinogen and an experimental teratogen. A dye obtained from tolidine that is absorbed by the macrophages of the reticuloendothelial system and is therefore used for staining cells in biological research. Trypan blue is an antiprotozoal drug first used to treat Babesia infection in 1909 and still commonly used to treat Babesia canis. The complex chemical structure has been progressively simplified, yielding such other widely used drugs as imidocarb.
Applications:
Trypan Blue is a water-soluble dye used for the dye exclusion test for cell viability to distinguish between viable and nonviable cells by seeping into nonviable cells with damaged plasma membranes causing them to appear blue.Trypan blue is a dye used to distinguish between live and dead cells. It is a vital stain that is not absorbed by healthy viable cells, but stains cells with a damaged cell membrane. This way, only dead cells can be counted. The method is sometimes referred to as the dye exclusion method.Trypan Blue Solution, is routinely used as a cell stain to assess cell viability using the dye exclusion test. This test is often performed while counting cells with the hemocytometer during routine subculturing, but can be performed any time cell viability needs to be determined quickly and accurately. The dye exclusion test is based upon the concept that viable cells do not take up impermeable dyes (like Trypan Blue), but dead cells are permeable and take up the dye.Trypan Blue is recommended for counting viable mammalian cells. Viable cell counts should be performed where a decrease in cell viability may be expected, for example, when working with cryopreserved cells or cells manipulated ex vivo.

Bromophenol blue is an acid-base indicator since its useful range lies between pH 3.0 and 4.6. It changes from yellow at pH 3.0 to blue at pH 4.6; this reaction is reversible. Bromophenol blue is structurally related to phenolphthalein (a popular indicator). Bromophenol blue is also used as a color marker to monitor the process of agarose gel electrophoresis and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis
Applications:
Chemicals and substances that impart color including soluble dyes and insoluble pigments. They are used in INKS; PAINTS; and as INDICATORS AND REAGENTS.Concentrations of bromophenol blue (I) in plasma, urine, and bile were determined spectrophotometrically after intravenous bolus injections and infusions in rats. The plasma concentrations were found to decrease mono exponentially after all doses except the highest, where the decrease was biexponential. Bromophenol blue (BPB) is the most widely used stain in gel electrophoresis for tracing the migration of samples on electrophoretic gels. If the gel is staind with 1 - 5 mg bromophenol blue, this may be detected much easier and earlier. In case that the stain will interfere with other applications (e. g. silver staining), a pre-run of the gel will remove bromophenol blue. It does not influence the migration of the samples. Add the solid stain before adding the catalyst.
