  • Applications

    Berberine chloride (CAS 633-65-8) is used as a chemical intermediate and research reagent in medicinal chemistry and related pharmaceutical studies; it serves as a colorant or pigment in cosmetics and in coatings/inks; it can be incorporated as a pigment additive in polymers and plastics to impart a yellow hue; its inherent fluorescence enables use as a fluorescent probe or labeling reagent in analytical chemistry and bioimaging; and it is sometimes evaluated for antimicrobial activity in cleaning formulations, subject to regulatory and formulation limits.
