Overview
Malachite Green is a synthetic triphenylmethane dye widely used in laboratory, microbiological, and parasitological staining applications. It is valued for its strong colour intensity and affinity for cellular and structural components, enabling effective visualisation of microorganisms under light microscopy.
In microbiology, Malachite Green is commonly employed as a counterstain or selective stain in specialised staining protocols. It is also used in parasitology and mycology research to enhance contrast and assist in the observation of microbial and parasitic structures in controlled laboratory environments.
Ausamics Malachite Green is supplied in high-quality laboratory grade, offering consistent colour strength, solubility, and batch-to-batch reliability for research and educational use.
