Crystal Violet

Crystal Violet is a triphenylmethane dye commonly used in microbiology, histology, and analytical chemistry for its ability to bind to cell walls, proteins, and nucleic acids. It is a primary stain in Gram staining, differentiating Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria based on their cell wall properties. Cellular staining by crystal violet is also used in tissue staining, cell viability assays, colony formation assays, and migration/invasion assays.
