Gentian Violet / Methyl Violet in Acetic Acid, 5.0 mol/l
Gentian violet or methyl violet in 5.0 mol/l acetic acid is a staining solution used in microbiology, histology and cytology. The solution consists of gentian violet or methyl violet, synthetic basic dyes dissolved in a concentrated acetic acid solution. This staining solution is used to highlight various cell structures and tissue components by binding to acidic components of cells and staining them purple.
In microbiology, gentian violet is commonly used for Gram staining to distinguish between Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. In histology and cytology, it can be used to stain cell nuclei, nucleic acids, and other cellular structures, and is often used in combination with other dyes to visualize different cell structures and tissue components simultaneously.
