The counter or secondary stain used in the acid-fast stain technique is methylene blue.
The counter or secondary stain used in the Gram stain procedure is safranin.
The counter stain used in the Gram stain procedure is typically safranin or basic fuchsin, which stains Gram-negative bacteria pink or red. In the acid-fast stain procedure, the counter stain used is typically methylene blue or brilliant green, which stains non-acid-fast bacteria blue or green, allowing acid-fast bacteria to retain the primary stain color (carbolfuchsin).
Yes, crystal violet is considered a primary stain in the Gram staining technique.
For Mycobacterium you will use the Acid-fast staining technique. There are two different methods of stainging: 1) Ziehl-Neelsen Method and 2) Kinyoun Method.1) The Ziel-Neelsen method uses a primary stain of Carbol Fuchsin dye that must be steam treated, rinsed with acid alcohol wash, and a secondary stain of Methylene Blue.2) The Kinyoun Method uses a primary stain of Kinyoun Carbol Fuchsin dye that is not steam treated. An acid alcohol wash is applied and a secondary dye of Brilliant Green. This technique is called "cold staining".The mycolic acid within the Mycobacterium cell membrane has a high affinity for the Carbol Fuchsin dyes.
The staining technique used to identify simple stains is called the simple staining technique.
The counter or secondary stain used in the Gram stain procedure is safranin.
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.
The counter stain used in the Gram stain procedure is typically safranin or basic fuchsin, which stains Gram-negative bacteria pink or red. In the acid-fast stain procedure, the counter stain used is typically methylene blue or brilliant green, which stains non-acid-fast bacteria blue or green, allowing acid-fast bacteria to retain the primary stain color (carbolfuchsin).
It is crystal violet & stains all cells purple.

The primary stain is selective - it will only highlight certain structures or proteins. The counter stain gives color and definition to the rest of the slide so that the relationship between the highlighted structure and the rest of the cell can be determined.

The secondary stain in the process of gram staining helps to colorize bacteria that were not initially stained by the primary stain. This allows for differentiation between gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria based on their cell wall composition.
Methylene blue a basic stain is generally used to identify the external morphology of bacteria.The other stain which is used as differential stain and which can also differentiate the baceteia on the basis of their cell wall is gram stain i.e. Crystal voilet and is counter stained with Saffranine
To effectively remove a rust stain from a counter, you can try using a mixture of lemon juice and baking soda. Apply the mixture to the stain, let it sit for a few minutes, then scrub with a sponge or cloth. Rinse the area thoroughly with water. Repeat the process if necessary until the rust stain is removed.
