Evans blue

 [ev´anz]
an odorless green, bluish green, or brown powder dye, used as a diagnostic acid in estimation of blood volume. The dye is injected into the bloodstream and after a sufficient period of time samples of the blood are taken to determine the degree of dilution of the dye.

Ev·ans blue

(ev'ănz), [C.I. 23860]
A diazo dye used for the determination of the blood volume on the basis of the dilution of a standard solution of the dye in the plasma after its intravenous injection; it binds to proteins and is also used as a vital stain for following diffusion through blood vessel walls.
Synonym(s): azovan blue

To verify the effectiveness and validity of ICV injection of H89 in rats in the Acu + H89 and FLX + H89 groups, another 6 rats were subjected to ICV catheterization and ICV injection of 1% Evans blue. Briefly, rats that received posttraining infusions of 0.9% sodium chloride solution after successful ICV catheterization were returned to the holding cage for better recovery for 7 days from surgery.
