Basic Violet 14; C.I. 42510) is a triarylmethane (triphenylmethane) dye supplied as dark green crystals with a metallic lustre that dissolve to an intense magenta-red in water and alcohol. The commercial dye is a mixture of closely related triaminotriarylmethane homologues — principally rosaniline (CAS 632-99-5), with pararosaniline (Basic Red 9, CAS 569-61-9), Magenta II, and New Fuchsin — differing only in the number and position of ring methyl groups on a shared chromophore. One of the foundational biological stains, it is the chromophore of carbol fuchsin in Ziehl–Neelsen acid-fast staining, the active dye of Schiff reagent in the periodic acid–Schiff (PAS) reaction, a Gram counterstain, and a component of Gomori's aldehyde-fuchsin method; it also functions as an acid-range pH indicator and as a cationic textile dye. This product is supplied as indicator grade, transition pH 1.0–3.1 (colourless to magenta).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCommon Scientific Applications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eZiehl–Neelsen acid-fast staining:\u003c\/strong\u003e Basic Fuchsin is the chromophore of carbol fuchsin — the dye dissolved in phenol and ethanol — used to stain acid-fast bacilli such as Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Under heat it penetrates the mycolic-acid-rich cell wall and forms a complex that resists acid-alcohol decolourisation, the basis of acid-fastness. The Kinyoun cold method uses a more concentrated carbol fuchsin without heating.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSchiff reagent and the PAS reaction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Decolourisation with sulphurous acid gives Schiff reagent (leucofuchsin), which restores the magenta chromophore on contact with free aldehydes. In the periodic acid–Schiff reaction, periodic acid oxidises vicinal diols in polysaccharides to aldehydes that Schiff reagent renders magenta, demonstrating glycogen, mucins, glycoproteins, basement membranes, and fungal cell walls in tissue sections.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFeulgen reaction for DNA:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mild acid hydrolysis exposes aldehyde groups on deoxyribose, which Schiff reagent stains stoichiometrically — a classical method for quantitative measurement of nuclear DNA content.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGram counterstain:\u003c\/strong\u003e After crystal-violet staining, iodine mordanting, and alcohol decolourisation, Basic Fuchsin counterstains Gram-negative organisms magenta-red, giving sharp contrast against violet Gram-positive cells, and stains thin or weakly staining Gram-negative species more intensely than safranin.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGomori aldehyde-fuchsin staining:\u003c\/strong\u003e Oxidised with paraldehyde and hydrochloric acid, the dye forms aldehyde-fuchsin, which selectively stains elastic fibres, sulfated mucins, and pancreatic islet beta-cell granules in tissue sections.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHBFP myocardial staining:\u003c\/strong\u003e In the haematoxylin–basic fuchsin–picric acid method, early-ischaemic myocytes stain red with Basic Fuchsin while surrounding tissue stains yellow with picric acid, a histochemical technique for detecting early myocardial injury in tissue sections.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAcid-range pH indicator:\u003c\/strong\u003e Transitions from colourless below pH 1.0 to magenta-red above pH 3.1, serving as an indicator for strongly acidic titrations;
