T-1824 or '''Evans Blue''', also rendered as '''Evan's Blue''', is an Azo Compound Dye which has a very high affinity for Serum Albumin .

Because of this, it can be useful in Physiology in estimating the proportion of Body Water contained in Blood Plasma .

Evans blue is also used to assess the permeability of the Blood-brain Barrier to macromolecules. Because serum albumin cannot cross the barrier, normally the neural tissue remains unstained.1

It was named after Herbert McLean Evans , an american chemist.
