Disease relevance of Alphazurine

Differential diagnosis of Staphylococcus aureus from Staphylococcus epidermidis and Staphylococcus saprophyticus by alphazurine A dye [1].

High impact information on Alphazurine

A study of the voltammetric behaviour of the food colours brilliant blue FCF (C.I. 42090), erythrosine (C.I. 45430) and quinoline yellow (C.I. 47005) in the pH range 2-10 have been carried out by cathodic#10; stripping voltammetry [2].
At pH 4.5 (acetate buffer) with an accumulation potential of 0 V and accumulation time of 30s, the voltammograms presented well-defined reduction peaks at potential - 0.76 V for brilliant blue FCF, - 0.85 V for quinoline yellow and - 0.54 V for erythrosine [2].
The stability and the behavior of patent blue (Alphazurine 2G) dye in a vehicle such as lidocaine hydrochloride injection were studied with regard to medication orders which may be prepared by hospital pharmacists [3].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Alphazurine

HPLC analyses revealed that 24 batches of commercial Food Blue No. 1 (three manufacturers) contain 0.1-0.8% (average: 0.5%) of the magenta subsidiary colour [4].
One of eight Food Blue No. 1 aluminum lakes (B-1Als) used in the official inspection of coal-tar colors in fiscal year 1999 had a violet sub-spot during paper chromatography and was rejected [5].
