General description

Murexide is the ammonium salt of purpuric acid that appears as a slightly reddish-purple powder and is soluble in water. It is mainly used as an indicator for complexometric titrations to measure water hardness and as a colorant/pigment in the dye industry.

Application

Murexide is used for the histochemical staining of calcium in the skeleton. It is suitable for staining the hemijaws for dental caries scoring.

Storage Class

11 - Combustible Solids
