Safranin
Sign in to saveSafranin (Safranin O or basic red 2) is a biological stain used in histology and cytology. Safranin is used as a counterstain in some staining protocols, colouring cell nuclei red. This is the classic counterstain in both Gram stains and endospore staining. It can also be used for the detection of cartilage, mucin and mast cell granules.

Det basiska färgningsmedlet safranin (C.I. Basic Red 2; C.I. 50240) är ett populärt färgningsmedel inom gramfärgning. Safranin har positivt laddade grupper som binder till negativt laddade molekyler i en cell, exempelvis en nukleinsyra eller något protein. Ytan på en bakteriecell är också negativt, vilket möjliggör en färgning. * Safranin * lösning med Safranin och vatten
