Brilliant Green Extra Pure is a high-purity, intense green dye primarily used in microbiology and analytical laboratories for staining and selective microbial inhibition. It is especially effective in culture media to isolate specific bacterial strains, such as Salmonella spp., by suppressing the growth of gram-positive organisms. In addition to its antimicrobial role, it serves as a histological stain in biological research and is used in tracing, titration, and other colorimetric assays. The extra pure grade guarantees high dye content, minimal impurities, and excellent consistency, ensuring reliable results in sensitive and precise laboratory work. It should be stored in a tightly sealed container, away from direct light and heat, to preserve its stability and effectiveness.
Brilliant Green Extra Pure
Primary Uses
- Microbiological Selective Agent
- Used as a selective dye in culture media like Brilliant Green Agar to inhibit gram-positive bacteria while promoting gram-negative bacterial growth, particularly Salmonella species.
- Biological Stain
- Employed as a cytoplasmic stain or counterstain in histology and microbiology, particularly in staining fungi, spores, or cell structures.
- pH Indicator and Dye
- Functions as a colorimetric indicator in some analytical titrations, especially where a distinct green shift is desired upon pH change.
Secondary Uses
- Model Compound in Dye Kinetics Studies
- Used in adsorption, diffusion, and photodegradation experiments, especially in environmental chemistry to simulate dye pollution.
- Demonstration of Spectroscopic Behavior
- Utilized in UV-Vis absorbance experiments due to its strong chromophore, helping students understand molar absorptivity and dye spectra.
- Toxicity Bioassays
- Sometimes used in bioassays or aquatic toxicology labs to evaluate dye toxicity in model organisms, such as Daphnia or algae.
