Formulation 41325 contains carmine (1 g), aluminum chloride (0.5 g), and water (2 ml). On the other hand, the formulation for HT3018 consists of certified carmine (10 g/L), aluminum hydroxide (10 g/L), and aluminum chloride (5 g/L) in ethanol (50% w/v), following Southgate's modification of Mayer's mucicarmine procedure. Dilution instructions for use are provided, indicating the need to dilute product 41325 with either 10 volumes of distilled water or preferably 50-70% alcohol just before use.
