General description
Gram’s crystal violet solution, also known as gentian violet or hexamethyl pararosaniline, is a basic, cationic, acidotropic aminoarylmethane dye. It is a hexa-N-methylated triaminotriphenylmethane with a moderately sized lipophilic cation and a slightly nonplanar conjugated system. It is used in bacteriology as the primary stain in Gram staining to differentiate Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. It is known to possess antibacterial and antifungal properties.[1]
Application
- Crystal violet is routinely used for Gram staining and its variants, staining amyloid, bacterial components, and vascular plant tissues.
- It is used in polychrome staining of epoxy resin sections, viability staining of cultured neurons, and confocal optical sectioning to analyze meiotic structures.
- It is also employed in the acridine orange-crystal violet staining of intracellular bacteria, microsporidian spores, and cytological smears.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Crystal violet is the primary stain in Gram staining. It infiltrates the peptidoglycan-rich cell wall of Gram-positive bacteria, and forms complexes with Gram’s iodine that are entrapped and retain the purple color even after decolorization. Thus, Gram-positive bacteria can be differentiated from Gram-negative bacteria whose peptidoglycan layer is considerably thinner and does not retain crystal violet.
The antimicrobial effects of crystal violet are caused by free radical generation and the formation of unionized dye-bacteria complexes. It also inhibits bacterial protein synthesis and cell wall formation and is especially effective against Gram-positive bacteria.[1]

Is this product # 94448 is suitable for use in Body fluid cell counting microscopically, to lyse RBC and enumerate WBC cells clearly?
1 answer-
No. Gram's Crystal Violet solution is not intended for counting cells from body fluid or blood. With the 10-20% ethanol present, the red cells would not be properly lysed. There are suitable solutions sold as Tuerk's reagent/solution which intended for counting white blood cells microscopically. With Tuerk's solution the red blood cells would be properly lysed. The catalog numbers for Tuerk's solution/reagent are 93770 and 1.09277

If the concentration of a solution is 2% and a final concentration of 0.01%, should water or ethanol be added to further dilute it?
1 answer-
Product 94448 is intended for use in a Gram Stain procedure. If you are diluting it down to 0.01%, you are not using the product as intended for staining bacteria in a Gram Stain procedure. If the concentration is a 0.01% solution, this brings attention towards the use of Turk's solution for counting cells using a hemacytometer. Turk's solution can be formulated with or without acetic acid. Using 10 to 20% ethanol or a higher concentration effectively kills the cells, causing the entire cell to stain and making it impossible to identify cells by the shape of their nuclei.
If it is for a migration assay or some other use, it would be advisable to check the literature. In some instances, the standard procedure is to dilute the Crystal Violet in methanol. Crystal Violet has many and varied uses, so it is best to try different solvents and determine which is most appropriate for your use. A 2 percent solution can be diluted to a 0.1 percent solution with a 1:20 dilution in an appropriate solvent, such as water, 15% ethanol, or 100% methanol.
