(3) Biopharmaceuticals
There may also be certain applications in the research and production of biopharmaceuticals. It can be used in cell culture, biological experiments, and other fields as a marker or indicator.

For example, in cell viability identification, it is an important dye used to identify cell viability. It is also a phosphate triple probe used to detect the rotational diffusion of membrane proteins. The cell viability dyes used in combination with hemocytometers share a common characteristic of being able to penetrate damaged cell membranes. The two most commonly used dyes are trypan blue and erythrosine B. The former is a blue dye, while the latter is a cherry pink dye containing fluorescein salts (which has photosensitivity at certain wavelengths).

(1) Plastic lubricant
Mainly used as a plastic lubricant, suitable for thermoplastic and thermosetting plastics such as polyethylene, polypropylene, polystyrene, ABS resin, polyvinyl chloride, etc. Adding an appropriate amount of this substance during plastic processing can improve the processing performance of plastics, reduce friction between plastics, and improve the quality and production efficiency of plastic products.

(2) Dyes, paints, inks
