Merbromin is the correct name for Mercurochrome (which is a trade name) thus I moved the merbromin data from Mercurochrome to its own entry and added a redirect from its chemical name. The problem that I am having is that merbromin is the active component AND the tincture's name so I need to think anout the organization of the page a bit more... It's late, I'm tired so I'll sleep on it and edit it tomorrow. I noticed that the CAS number link no longer works but I don't want to lose that information... I'll see if I can't track down the new link and fix it also... arfon 07:48, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

I was unable to find anything about merbromin from ATSDR. But from http://caligula.bcs.deakin.edu.au/bcs_admin/msds/msds_docs/Mercurochrome.pdf , the CAS number for merbromin is 129-16-8.
