Basic Fuchsin
Basic fuchsin, a red-violet colored dye, is commonly used in biological staining, particularly for highlighting cell nuclei due to its affinity for DNA.
Catalog Number: ASC-1030
CAS Number: 632-99-5
MW: 337.86 g/mol
MF: C20H20ClN3
Basic fuchsin, a red-violet colored dye, is commonly used in biological staining, particularly for highlighting cell nuclei due to its affinity for DNA. It can also be used in some wastewater treatment processes, although other methods are typically more prevalent. The ability of basic fuchsin to adhere (adsorb) to particles allows its removal from water through filtration.
