FOR IN VITRO DIAGNOSTIC USE ONLY.

RECOMMENDED PROCEDURE: Cover fixed smear with Sol. I for 1 minute and rinse gently with distilled water. Apply Sol. II for 1 minute and rinse gently with distilled water. Decolorize with Sol. III, Sol. IIIA, or Sol. IIIB until the purple color no longer runs off the slide, (from 2 - 20 seconds depending upon decolorizer and thickness of smear) and rinse with distilled water. Counterstain with Sol. IV, Sol. IVA or Sol. IVB for 1 minute and rinse with distilled water. Allow to dry and examine under oil immersion.

NOTE: For a faster decolorizer, use Sol.IIIB - Acetone-Alcohol. For a more intense counterstain, we recommend Sol. IVA - Basic Fuchsin or Sol. IVB - Carbol Fuchsin.

RESULTS: Gram-positive bacteria stain purple to blue black. Gram-negative bacteria stain pink to red.
