Pigment 1: BR1:1 Rhodamine 6G
Rhodamine dyes are often used for microscopy in the biological sciences.
Pigment name: BR1:1 Rhodamine 6G
Pigment Type: organic, fluorone dye
Chemical Name: n/a
Properties: Rhodamine 6G is a staining reddish-yellow pigment with fluorescent properties. It is highly soluble in both water and alcohol. Fluorescent molecules absorb light at one wavelength and emit light at a longer wavelength.
Permanence: Rhodamine 6G, like all fluorescent dyes, is not considered permanent; however, it is reported to have high stability for a fluorone dye.
Toxicity: Rhodamine 6G is toxic but can be biologically inactive and non-toxic in a lake pigment form.
Alternate Names: Pigment R81:1
Pigment 2: BV11:1 Fluorescent Blue-Violet
History n/a
Pigment name: BV11:1 Fluorescent Blue-Violet
Pigment Type: organic
Chemical Name: n/a
Properties: Fluorescent pigments such as BV11:1 offer intense and brilliant effects because they absorb ultraviolet light and re-emit light at longer wavelengths.
Permanence: Like all fluorescent pigments, BV11:1 is not considered permanent. It will fade with exposure to ultraviolet light.
Toxicity: n/a
Alternate Names: n/a
Pigment 3: SY44 Symuler Pigment 44
Symuler is the trade name of the company that produced pigments and dyes. It is now a subsidiary of Dainippon Ink and Chemicals, Inc. of Japan.
Pigment name: SY44 Symuler Pigment 44
Pigment Type: organic
Chemical Name: n/a
Properties: Symuler Pigment 44 is a proprietary pigment. Although it may be similar to or the same as other commercially available pigments, we do not have identifying information.
Permanence: n/a
Toxicity: n/a
Alternate Names: n/a
