Product Description: Crystal Violet, 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].
Applications: COVID-19-anti-virus
Formula: C25H30ClN3
