Crystal Violet (solution), also known as Gentian violet, methyl violet 10B, is a triphenyl-methane, an alkaline dye that binds to DNA in the nucleus of a cell, staining it a deep purple. It is often used for Gram staining to classify bacteria, or for cell or histological staining[1].Solvent and Concentration: Sterile water: 5 mg/mL (0.5%)
