Biological Description

Chemical Properties

Storage & Solubility Information

Description	Sunset Yellow FCF (Sunset yellow) is an orange azo dye with pH-dependent absorbance.Sunset Yellow FCF is used in food, cosmetics and pharmaceuticals.It is used as a colorant food additive in many food products.They may be cytotoxic and genotoxic, so care must be taken when using these materials as food additives.
In vitro	Sunset Yellow FCF (250 μg/ml) reduces the LPS-induced proliferation of isolated mouse splenocytes, as well as inhibits the proliferation of isolated mouse splenocytes in an allogeneic mixed lymphocyte reaction.[3]
In vivo	Sunset yellow FCF (0.325 mg/kg; mice) induces chromosomal aberrations in somatic and germ cells and morphological abnormalities in sperm in mice, but it is not genotoxic in a micronucleus gut assay in mice when administered at doses up to 2,000 mg/kg.[4]

See Example

An example of a molarity calculation using the molarity calculator
What is the mass of compound required to make a 10 mM stock solution in 10 ml of water given that the molecular weight of the compound is 197.13 g/mol?
Enter 197.13 into the Molecular Weight (MW) box
Enter 10 into the Concentration box and select the correct unit (millimolar)
Enter 10 into the Volume box and select the correct unit (milliliter)
Press calculate
The answer of 19.713 mg appears in the Mass box

Calculate the dilution required to prepare a stock solution
The dilution calculator is a useful tool which allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentration. Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1.

See Example

An example of a dilution calculation using the Tocris dilution calculator
What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 20ml of a 50 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=50 μM, V2=20 ml and V1 is the unknown:
Enter 10 into the Concentration (start) box and select the correct unit (millimolar)
Enter 50 into the Concentration (final) box and select the correct unit (micromolar)
Enter 20 into the Volume (final) box and select the correct unit (milliliter)
Press calculate
The answer of 100 microliter (0.1 ml) appears in the Volume (start) box
