Chemical Information

Thioflavin T

Thioflavine T is an organic chloride salt having 2-[4-(dimethylamino)phenyl]-3,6-dimethyl-1,3-benzothiazol-3-ium as the counterion. It is widely used to visualise and quantify the presence of amyloids, both in vitro and in vivo. It has a role as a geroprotector, a fluorochrome and a histological dye. It contains a thioflavin T cation.
