Tims: Seriously, not clear: "It is the water-soluble salt of fluorescein, also known as resorcinolphthalein sodium, or uranine. A member of the xanthene group of dyes, it is a highly fluorescent chemical compound synthesized from the petroleum derivatives resorcinol and phthalic anhydride.3" So water soluble compound is what it is derived from? Or plant? Petroleum is an option here for me. Help please narrow this down. is it Fluorescent dye, mineral source, water-soluable compound or plant source Stuart Alfred, B.S., C.R.A., O.C.T.-C 528 North Bauman Street Indianapolis, IN 46214 stuart.alfred@xxxxxxxxx 317 517-9455 cell www.stuartalfred.com From: "Bennett, Timothy" <tbennett1@xxxxxxxxxxx> Reply-To: <optimal@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Friday, November 22, 2013 12:15 PM To: "'optimal@xxxxxxxxxxxxx'" <optimal@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: [optimal] Re: NaFl derived from exactly what?
