Product Overview

GRAM’S IODINE STAINING SOLUTION is a high-quality reagent designed for precise microscopical staining applications. This laboratory-grade solution ensures reliable and consistent results, making it an essential component in Gram staining procedures. The iodine solution acts as a mordant, enhancing the retention of the primary stain (crystal violet) in Gram-positive bacteria, thereby improving differentiation under the microscope. Its formulation is optimized for clarity and accuracy, ensuring that bacterial cell walls are effectively stained for clear visualization. The solution is stable and ready-to-use, eliminating the need for additional preparation steps. Whether used in routine laboratory work or specialized research, this staining solution delivers consistent performance, reducing variability in results. The 125 ml pack size provides an adequate volume for multiple staining procedures, making it a cost-effective choice for labs with moderate usage requirements. Store the solution in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, to maintain its efficacy over time.

FAQs

1. What is the role of Gram’s iodine in the staining process?

Gram’s iodine acts as a mordant, forming a complex with crystal violet to enhance stain retention in Gram-positive bacteria.

2. Is this solution compatible with standard Gram staining protocols?

Yes, this solution is fully compatible with conventional Gram staining methods for bacterial differentiation.

3. Can this solution be used for staining other microorganisms?

While primarily designed for bacteria, it may also be used for certain fungi or yeast, depending on the protocol.

4. What is the shelf life of this staining solution?

When stored properly in a cool, dry place, the solution remains stable for up to 24 months from the date of manufacture.

5. Are there any safety precautions for handling this solution?

Wear gloves and protective eyewear, and avoid inhalation or direct contact with skin, as it contains iodine.
