Product Overview
Crystal Violet 1% Aqueous Solution is a ready-to-use laboratory stain widely employed in microbiology and histology. It is most commonly used as the primary stain in the Gram staining procedure, where it enables differentiation of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria based on cell wall structure.
This pre-formulated solution eliminates the need for dilution or preparation, ensuring consistent staining intensity and reproducible results across routine and research applications. Ausamics Crystal Violet Solution is manufactured under controlled conditions and supplied in chemical-resistant, securely sealed containers for laboratory safety and convenience.
Principle of Use
Staining Mechanism
Crystal Violet is a basic dye that binds to negatively charged components of bacterial cell walls and cytoplasmic material. In Gram-positive organisms, the dye is retained after iodine treatment and decolourisation, allowing clear differentiation during microscopic examination.
