It is also used as an apoptosis agent that is used to detect cholesterols and carotenoids. It is also employed to detect certain compounds, such as cholesterols and carotenoids. This agent seems to cause dehydration of cholesterol to 3,5-cholestadiene and 2,4-cholestadiene which produce the blue color seen during the reaction.
