Methylene Blue（Cat No.:A000087）is a synthetic compound with diverse medical and research applications. It functions as a redox agent, commonly used to treat methemoglobinemia by restoring hemoglobin’s oxygen-carrying capacity. Additionally, it has been studied for its neuroprotective properties and potential in treating cognitive disorders. In microbiology, Methylene Blue serves as a vital dye for staining bacteria and other cells. It also plays a role in photodynamic therapy for cancer. Its wide-ranging effects on cellular processes make it a valuable tool in both clinical treatment and scientific research.
