Physical and Chemical Properties | Crystal violet, also known as Basic Violet 3, is a metallic luster or dark green crystalline powder, soluble in water and chloroform, aqueous solution and ethanol solution is purple, almost insoluble in ether. They all belong to the class of triphenylmethane dyes. Crystal violet has carcinogenic, mutagenic, reproductive toxicity (CMR), is included in the European Union REACH regulation of substances of high concern (the seventh batch) list. |
Use | Reagents for the determination of thallium, zinc, antimony, titanium, cadmium, tungsten, gold and mercury |

artificial dyes | that is aniline dyes or coal tar dyes, many kinds, a wide range of applications. Its disadvantage is that it is easy to fade by sunlight, aniline blue, bright green, methyl green and so on. In the production of attention to grasp the pH, and to avoid direct sunlight, but also after several years does not fade. Crystal violet (English Crystal violet) is a basic dye, soluble in water (solubility 9%) and alcohol (solubility 8.75%). Crystal violet is widely used in cytology, histology and bacteriology. It is an excellent stain. It is commonly used in nuclear staining, used to show the centrosome of chromosomes, and can be stained with starch, fibrin, glia and so on. Good results can be obtained when staining the cell nucleus with red and hematoxylin or other dyes is unsuccessful. With the double staining of the chromosome with red and crystal violet, the chromosome is stained red, the spindle silk is stained purple, so it is also a good stain to show cell division. With crystal violet dyeing cilia, the effect is also very good. Crystal violet stained sections, the disadvantage is not easy to long-term preservation. |
biological activity | crystal violet is a triphenylmethane dye that allows the spectrophotometric determination of antimony in environmental and biological samples. |
Use | for the determination of thallium, zinc, antimony, titanium, cadmium, tungsten, reagents such as gold and mercury |
