Remel Gram Decolorizer (95% Ethyl Alcohol) is a reagent recommended for use in qualitative procedures to differentiate gram-negative from gram-positive organisms. Make a thin smear of the material for study on a glass slide. Allow the smear to air-dry completely or use a slide warmer.

Thermo Scientific™ Remel Gram Decolorizer is a decolorizing reagent used in Gram stain procedures. For qualitative procedures to differentiate gram-positive from gram-negative microorganisms Selected Gram stains are CE marked

Within our state-of-the-art ISO 9000 manufacturing center is a dedicated production area for stain reagents. A unique BD manufacturing process reduces the presence of artifacts—a chemical precipitate sometimes mistaken for microorganisms in Gram stain preparations. The end result is easier-to-read and accurate staining.

Decolorizer used in the Gram stain procedure, fast 25% alcohol/75% acetone. For those who require a faster decolorizer. Recommended for use with stabilized iodine.

BD™ Gram Decolorizer is used in a 4-step Gram staining process, before counterstaining. Available in 250ml solution bottles for direct use or gallon containers for bulk storage. Staining microorganisms from cultures or specimens by the differential Gram method.

Gram staining technique requires simultaneous use of chemical reagents for a fixed period followed by washing; Primary stain (crystal violet), Mordant (iodine), Decolorizer (ethanol or acid-alcohol), and Counterstain (safranin or dilute carbol-fuchsin).

Gram′s decolorizer solution is a mixture of ethanol and acetone. Gram′s decolorizer solution is used in Gram staining procedure, after the iodine step to remove the crystal violet dye. The decolorizer dissolves the lipid layer from the gram-negative cells. Choose from one of the most recent versions: Don't see the Right Version?

Decolorizer: Tilt the slide at a 45° angle and let the ethanol run over surface of slide until no more crystal violet color comes out of the smear (time varies — no more than 5-15 seconds). Tilt the slide at a 45° angle and rinse the smear with deionized (DI) water or distilled water.
