Product Overview

Sudan III Powder by Lancer is a vital dye for qualitative fat detection in biological and food samples.

In academic labs, it’s commonly used in biology and chemistry classrooms to demonstrate fat solubility and lipid staining under the microscope. Its bright coloration helps visualize fat content in cells and food items.

In industrial labs, it is applied in quality control and food testing for the presence of lipids, especially in oils and dairy-based products.

In institutional research, it is useful in biomedical studies, particularly in histology and cytochemistry, to identify fat deposits in tissues, offering clear contrast under light microscopy.
