Crystal Violet
A teacher would like Crystal Violet stain. My book tells me I also need Ammonium Oxalate . I do not have any, Is it very important to Ammonium Oxalate?

Re: Crystal Violet
I have an old recipe (pre 1983) for crystal violet.
2g Crystal violet in 20 mL ethyl alcohol 95%. Dissolve and then add 180 mL distilled water.
Since we haven't used it for some time I can't vouch for its effectiveness.
Cheers,
Pam

Re: Crystal Violet
Depending on the volume you need, you could always ask your local Pathology if they are willing to give/sell you some already made? Any micro department will have it in abundance.
