Physical description & handling notes

• Brown to orange powder; Green fluorescence when diluted in water; [Hawley]

Documented Uses

• Used as an antiseptic; [Hawley] Fluorescent dye used as a local antiseptic and also as a biological stain. It intercalates into nucleic acids thereby inhibiting bacterial and viral replication. [ChemIDplus] Used as a microscopic stain; [Ullmann]
• Using Disinfectants or Biocides [Category: Clean]
• Information on 5 consumer products that contain Acriflavine in the following categories is provided:
• Substances used on humans and other animals that destroy harmful microorganisms or inhibit their activity. They are distinguished from DISINFECTANTS, which are used on inanimate objects.
• Chemicals that emit light after excitation by light. The wave length of the emitted light is usually longer than that of the incident light. Fluorochromes are substances that cause fluorescence in other substances, i.e., dyes used to mark or label other compounds with fluorescent tags.
• Agents that are capable of inserting themselves between the successive bases in DNA, thus kinking, uncoiling or otherwise deforming it and therefore preventing its proper functioning. They are used in the study of DNA.
