Did You Know?
Methylene blue has been used in biological research for over a century and was one of the first synthetic dyes applied to medical and scientific studies. Its ability to bind selectively to DNA and RNA makes cell nuclei stand out clearly under a microscope, helping students and researchers distinguish living structures with ease. Beyond the lab, methylene blue has played roles in medical diagnostics, neuroscience research, and even early photographic processes.
