Safranin

Safranin, a commonly used dye in histology and microbiology, binds nucleic acids and glycosaminoglycans to produce a bright red or pink colored stain. It is often used to stain nuclei, cell walls, and cartilage in applications including Gram staining, endospore staining, and plant cell wall staining. Safranin is versatile and can function as both a primary and counterstain, with a bright contrasting color that provides clear differentiation in multicolor staining techniques.
