Gram Stain Kit, 100mL volumes

Gram staining is an identification method that is carried out to classify bacteria as Gram Positive or Gram Negative.  The procedure involves fixing a bacterial sample on a glass slide then successively treating with Crystal Violet, Gram's Iodine, acetone/alcohol and Safranin.  The sample is then examined under a microscope.  The result depends on the chemical and physical properties of the cell walls.

This kit includes instructions and 100mL of each reagent.

Note, due to the flammability of acetone/alcohol and Safranin solution, this kit can be shipped by road only.
