1.9: Simple Stain - Biology LibreTexts
Figure 1: Methylene blue is a simple and direct stain used for determining bacterial morphology (shape and arrangement). It is a cationic dye (positive charge) which stains the cell a blue color. The presence of negatively charged molecules in the cell (like DNA & RNA) causes the cell to stain blue.
Methylene Blue as a Stain | What is it used for with Example
Methylene blue solution contains a blue dye that stains acidic animal cell components (such as the nucleus) blue, allowing to readily examine and analyze them during microscopy, histology, haematology, morphology, and other biological research.
Methylene blue staining - Microbiologie clinique
Methylene blue stain is a simple stain where a single dye is used to emphasize particular structures in the sample, shape (the size and arrangement of bacteria). The organisms in a sample will be the same color, even if the sample contains more than one type of organism.
4.1: Introduction to Staining - Biology LibreTexts
2021年5月26日 · In a simple stain, a bacterial smear is stained with a solution of a single dye that stains all cells the same color without differentiation of cell types or structures. The single dye used here in our lab is methylene blue, a basic stain.
2.4: Staining Microscopic Specimens - Biology LibreTexts
2024年4月21日 · A secondary counterstain, methylene blue, is then applied, which renders non–acid-fast cells blue. The fundamental difference between the two carbolfuchsin-based methods is whether heat is used during the primary staining process.
Gram Staining - StatPearls - NCBI Bookshelf - National Center …
2023年8月14日 · Often, the first test performed, gram staining, involves the use of crystal violet or methylene blue as the primary color. [2] . The term for organisms that retain the primary color and appear purple-brown under a microscope is Gram-positive organisms.
Methylene Blue - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics
Methylene blue is a redox dye with clinical uses applicable to operating theatre and intensive care settings. Its uses include tissue staining (as in parathyroid surgery or lymphatic mapping), as a vasopressor in the treatment of vasoplegic syndrome, and in the treatment of methemoglobinemia or cyanide poisoning.

Simple Staining: Principle, Procedure, Uses - Microbe Online
Staining. Cover the smear with methylene blue and allow the dye to remain in the smear for approximately one minute (Staining time is not critical here; somewhere between 30 seconds to 2 minutes should give you an acceptable stain, the longer you leave the dye in …
Rapid alkaline methylene blue supravital staining for assessment …
2016年10月11日 · The Löffler’s alkaline methylene blue staining method is a simple staining technique that can be used to differentiate bacterial, viral, and fungal infections. It is a cationic dye that stains cells blue because the positively charged dye is attracted to negatively charged particles such as polyphosphates, DNAs, and RNAs.
