Methylene Blue by NatuGena – Methylene blue is a deeply colouring organic liquid. Our methylene blue is offered exclusively as a laboratory chemical and is ideal for colouring materials or solutions in non-medical contexts. 100 ml in a protective amber glass bottle.
- Methylene Blue (Methylthioninium chloride): Organic compound with strong blue colouring, long used in textile and laboratory applications
- Historical significance: Discovered in 1876, methylene blue was once referred to as a “magic bullet”
- Light-protected packaging: Stored in amber glass to minimise light-induced oxidation
- Supplementary literature available separately: "Methylenblau von Mark Sloan"

Shortly after its discovery in 1876 by Heinrich Caro, methylene blue made its way into the world of dyes. Originally developed for textile colouring, it quickly became known for its rich, deep blue luminosity. Cotton or wool fabrics could be dyed evenly and vibrantly with it. But this dye wasn’t limited to the fashion world: chemists, medical professionals, and microbiologists began using the deep blue compound to stain tissue samples, making cell structures more visible under the microscope. Even today, methylene blue is used wherever visibility is key – whether in test tubes, laboratory experiments, or creative projects. Thanks to its intense colouring power, just a few drops are enough to turn solutions into a vibrant blue.
