The reagents are applied to tissue on microscope slides and mixed over the entire specimen. The staining reaction for Gram Staining Kit is based on the formation of a dye lake (crystal violet-iodine complex) that penetrates the bacteria cell walls. The microscope slide is differentiated with SSR Solution, which removes the dye from some tissue elements but not from the gram-positive bacteria. Following the differentiation step, the tissue is stained with basic fuchsin and Gallego solution. The tissue can be counterstained with tartrazine or fast green, or no counterstain can be selected. en
