Olympus MIC-D: Polarized Light Gallery - Brilliant Blue (Coomassie Blue) (459 words)
Coomassie blue binds to proteins in an approximately stoichometric manner, meaning that when the relative amounts of protein need to be assessed, densitometry of the stained protein will provide data.
Other uses for brilliant blue dyes are detection of lipids in thin layer chromatography, for detection of proteins in solution and on cellulose acetate plates, and as a traceable dye for following water uptake in the roots of plants.
To a chemist, brilliant blue is actually a diammonium salt known also as acid blue or a disodium salt, sometimes called alphazurine, featuring 37 carbon atoms, 34 hydrogens, 2 nitrogens, 2 sodiums, 9 oxygens, and 3 sulfurs per molecule.

Unbound Coomassie Blue absorbs light maximally at a wavelength of 465 nm, while the absorption maximum is at 595 nm when the dye is bound to protein.
Coomassie blue (the dye in the Bradford Reagent), phosphoric acid, and methanol are very harmful when swallowed, absorbed through the skin or splashed in the eyes.
Coomassie blue, phosphoric acid, and methanol are components of the Bradford Reagent.
