Parafuchsin Solution
Parafuchsin solution, consisting of pararosaniline, hydrochloric acid and distilled water, is used in medical diagnostics and histology. It serves as an essential component in staining methods, especially in Gram staining, to identify Gram-positive bacteria.
Chemically, pararosaniline (C19H19N3) is a triphenylmethane dye that forms a fuchsin solution when combined with hydrochloric acid (HCl) and water (H2O). The chemical reaction leads to protonation of the pararosaniline, resulting in a color change. This allows differentiation between different microbial cell walls.
Application of the parafuchsin solution can result in differentiated staining patterns that allow accurate diagnosis and classification of bacteria.
