Trypan Blue
Trypan blue is a dye used in hematology and pathology laboratories as a cell viability stain, exploiting the principle that viable cells with intact membranes exclude the dye while non-viable cells take up the blue color, enabling the discrimination of live from dead cells. The device is FDA Class 1, the lowest risk category, requiring only general controls and not requiring premarket notification. It bears product code LGY and is regulated under 21 CFR 864.1850 within the Hematology specialty. This device is exempt from Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) regulations.
