- Number of Tests possible: 230 - 300 lames.
- Length of one Test: 3 minutes.
Choosing between "R" or "L"
The "R" (fast action) kit is ideal for staining with automates and for manual and simultaneous staining of slides (series).
The "L" (slow action) kit is advised for individual staining of slides.
Principle
Gram-Hücker staining is based on the same principle as the Gram-Nicolle staining. The structure of the bacterial walls and their permeability to alcohol help differentiate the Gram-negative bacteria from the Gram-positive ones. In this technique, Carbolic Gentian Violet is replaced by Crystal Violet Oxalate (that does not require filtration) and Ziehl-Carbolic Fuchsin by Safranin.
