Application
Biochem/physiol Actions
Crystal violet can be used for DNA visualization in agarose gels. The dye is used only in the presence of high concentrations of DNA.[3] Crystal violet is also used for the staining of bacteria in gram staining technique.[4] It is also used for the staining of plant chromosomes.[5] Crystal violet helps in colorimetric measurement of cell viability.[6]
