Methyl Green（Cat No.:M059174）is a cationic dye derived from crystal violet, chemically classified as a triphenylmethane dye. It appears as a green powder that dissolves in water to yield a blue-green solution. Primarily used as a biological stain, Methyl Green selectively binds to DNA, making it valuable in histology and cytology for staining cell nuclei. It is often used in combination with Pyronin Y to differentiate DNA from RNA, with DNA staining green and RNA red. Its specificity, bright coloration, and aqueous solubility make it useful in microscopic imaging and research diagnostics.
