Basic Violet 2 or New Fuchsin is an organic compound that is used as a dye of the triarylmethane class. It is one of the four fundamental Basic fuchsine ingredients and one of the two that can be purchased as individual colours.
It is used to dye polyacrylonitrile, paper, and leather. It can be utilised in biology to make Schiff’s reagent and to stain organisms that are acid-fast, such as those using the Ziehl-Neelsen stain.
