Crystal Violet Staining Solution (Water-Based)
Cat No.: DCP-CVW1X
Size: 500 mL
Sterile, Ultrapure, Filtered 0.1-micron membrane TWICE and 0.04-micron membrane ONCE.
Description:
Crystal Violet Staining Solution delivers 1% crystal violet in ultrapure water (Type I, 18.2 MΩ·cm), designed for assays requiring zero alcohol interference.
Key Features:
- Zero Alcohol: Eliminates solvent-induced cell shrinkage (≤2% dimensional change vs. 15% in ethanol)
- Flexible Fixation: Compatible with methanol, formaldehyde, or cryopreservation methods.
- Electrophoresis Ready: 0.04 μm filtered for nucleic acid counterion staining.
Applications:
- Stem cell colony counting (CFU assays)
- Live/dead discrimination in microfluidic devices
- DNA band visualization (0.1 μg/mm2 sensitivity)
- Classroom demonstrations (ANSI Z358.1 eyewash compatible)
