Description
Leucocrystal Violet is a triphenylmethane dye used in the detection of antimony in environmental and biological samples using spectrophotometric techniques. It has been reported that leucocrystal violet can be oxidized with acidified potassium iodate forming crystal violet dye, which shows a maximum absorbance at 590 nm. In addition, leucocrystal violet can be used to impregnate nylon transfer membranes for the purpose of lifting and enhancing impressions made in blood. Furthermore, studies suggest that leucocrystal violet can be degraded by the baterium strain, Sphingomonas sp. CM9.
