- Distilled water
- 200 µl multichannel micropipette or Single channel 50-200 µl pipette

- Trough
- Tray
- Kimwipes
- Gloves

Procedure
i.
Observe and take reading of cell sensitivity plate
microscopically on 7th day before staining.
ii.
All the steps of staining should be performed in
BSC-II.
iii.
Carefully remove the medium from the plates taking care
not to touch the monolayer with the help of multichannel pipette (adjusted to
200µl).
iv.
Pour the stain in the trough and with the help of
multichannel pipette add 50 µl of 0.025% crystal violet stain in all wells
touching the side of wells.
v.
Incubate the plates with stain for 40 minutes at room
temperature.
vi.
After incubation carefully remove the stain from the
plates taking care not to touch the monolayer with the help of multichannel
pipette.
vii. Pour
distilled water in fresh trough and add 200µl in all wells and carefully remove
the water from the plate taking care not to touch the monolayer with the help
of multichannel pipette (adjusted to 200µl).
viii. Repeat
the above step twice (step no.vii).
ix.
After the plate is washed, invert it on Kimwipes in a
tray and keep for drying in BSC-II.
i.
The wells which are violet are negative and which are
clear are considered as positive.
ii.
Compare the result with microscopically taken readings
of the plate.
iii.
Plates can be wrapped with paper and stored at room
temperature for longer periods for record.
