Xylene Cyanol is a dry dye powder that is commonly used in various laboratory applications. It is available in 25gm, 50gm, and 100gm quantities, providing flexibility in choosing the appropriate amount for specific needs.

Xylene Cyanol finds applications in molecular biology techniques such as agarose gel electrophoresis, where it acts as a tracking dye to monitor the progress of DNA or RNA migration during the separation process. It imparts a blue colour to the sample, allowing for easy visualization and assessment of the gel's progress.

Furthermore, Xylene Cyanol is utilized as a pH indicator and dye in chemical and industrial processes. Its properties make it suitable for use in staining and marking applications, particularly in the textile, paper, and dye industries.
