CBB acts as a marker that helps in the recognization of the particular protein that we want to purify.
Bromophenol blue is a tracking dye used to monitor the progress of electrophoresis, helping visualize the migration of proteins in the gel. Coomassie blue is a protein dye used for staining proteins after electrophoresis, allowing for their visualization and quantification. Both stains serve distinct purposes in the SDS-PAGE process to ensure accurate results and analysis.
Post ID Special:Contributionssaid: "blue-violet.....because it is a gram-negative bacteria"Wrong...the color is correct, but S. aureus is gram-POSITIVE.
DAPI staining works by binding to the DNA in cells and emitting a blue fluorescent signal when exposed to ultraviolet light. This allows researchers to visualize the DNA in the cells under a microscope.
If your talking about Acid Fast staining (aka Ziehl-Neelsen staining), after the addition of the primary stain (carbol fuchsin) heat is applied in order to facilitate proper staining. Bacteria such as Mycobacterium contain large amounts of lipid substances within their cell wall called mycolic acids. These acids resist staining by ordinary methods such as gram staining (where heat is not applied after primary staining). On application of heat, the stain carbol fuschin penetrates the cell wall and stains the cells pink. Following the secondary staining (methylene blue) the acid fast positive cells appear pink while others are stained blue. Endospore staining is yet another staining technique where heat is applied after primary staining (malachite green). In this case the spores are impermeable to stains, hence heating favours proper permeation of stain. Endospores appear green while vegetative cells appear red (secondary stain saffranine). Not all staining procedures involve applying heat after primary staining. However, heat is applied before even beginning the staining procedure. This is called heat fixing, where the cells are fixed so that they are not washed away during the subsequent washing steps.
Because negative staining requires the use of an acidic stain, which will not penetrate the cells because of the negative charge on the surface of the bacteria. As a result, the unstained cells can be easily identified against the colored background.

Adding methylene blue to a slide will stain animal cells and make the nuclei more visible.

Methylene blue stains everything blue.
no
Crystal violet, basic fuchsin, and safranin are all dyes which can be used in direct staining because they are cationic which means that they are positively charged. These dyes which are positively charged will react to the bacterial cell wall because the cell wall is negatively charged resulting in a basic stain.
Alcian Blue staining is used in histology to selectively stain acidic polysaccharides, such as mucins and glycosaminoglycans, in tissues. It is particularly useful in diagnosing diseases characterized by abnormal mucin production, such as mucinous tumors. Alcian Blue staining can help pathologists identify these substances and aid in accurate diagnosis.
Hematoxylin stain can cast hemoglobin dark-blue to blue-black in Puchtler's method for hemoglobin staining. This method involves staining with hematoxylin followed by differentiation in acid alcohol and a counterstain in eosin.
One substance that has a similar function as methylene blue is crystal violet. It is commonly used in staining techniques for microbiological studies and exhibits similar properties in terms of staining cells and tissues.
iodine
A secondary stain is Methylene blue. This type of stain is used in a acid fast staining. This type of staining test can determine medical conditions such as tuberculosis.
Methylene blue would enhance your observation more than iodide staining. Methylene blue binds to nucleic acids and proteins, making them more visible under a microscope. Iodide staining is primarily used for visualizing lipids in samples such as plant tissues.
