Effective Mordant Action: Our Gram's Iodine effectively forms a crystal violet-iodine complex within the cell wall of Gram-positive bacteria, ensuring their ability to retain the primary stain during decolorization. This is crucial for accurate bacterial identification.

Clear Differentiation: By fixing the crystal violet in Gram-positive cells, it enables sharp and reliable differentiation when followed by decolorization, allowing Gram-negative cells to be counterstained distinctly.

Histology Grade Purity & Consistency: Manufactured under stringent quality control standards, ensuring high purity and consistent formulation. This guarantees reproducible and dependable staining outcomes for critical microbiological analyses.

Ready-to-Use Solution: Our pre-mixed Gram's Iodine solution is prepared for immediate use, simplifying your staining protocols and saving valuable preparation time in the laboratory.

Versatile Application: Primarily used in the Gram staining method for the morphological and differential identification of bacteria in clinical, research, and educational settings.

Reliable Performance: Each batch undergoes rigorous testing to ensure consistent activity and effectiveness, providing confidence in your microbial characterization.
