Description
Gram CombiStain Solution is a ready laboratory reagent intended for microscopy within Gram staining workflows. Supplied in a 500 ml glass bottle, it provides a convenient volume for routine differential staining of bacterial specimens in histology, microbiology and related life-science applications. The solution has a density of approximately 1 g/cm³, supporting straightforward handling and dispensing at the bench during multi-step Gram procedures. Available from manufacturer Carl ROTH, this CombiStain preparation is positioned for laboratories that perform classical Gram differentiation as part of identification, teaching or quality-control microscopy. The glass packaging suits standard reagent storage and repeated access during staining sessions. Used as part of established Gram staining sequences, the solution helps visualise morphological and tinctorial differences between Gram-positive and Gram-negative organisms under the microscope. The 500 ml pack size balances day-to-day consumption with efficient inventory management for clinical, research and educational laboratories running regular staining series.

Questions about Gram CombiStain Solution, for microscopy, 500 ml
What is this article?
Gram CombiStain Solution, for microscopy, 500 ml is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Carl Roth for laboratory use. It sits in Histology reagents & consumables, inside Microscopy & histology, in Lab instruments.
Histology reagents are the fixatives, the solvents, the paraffins and the stains that turn a tissue into a readable section. The stain and the tissue, not the bottle size alone, choose the reagent. Many of these liquids are flammable or toxic and travel under dangerous-goods rules.
A light microscope forms an image with glass lenses and transmitted or reflected light. A stereo microscope is the lower-magnification instrument for dissecting and for looking at a surface. Fluorescence needs a light source and filters matched to the dye. Histology is the preparation that makes a tissue readable: fixation, a cassette, a section, a stain. The objective's magnification and numerical aperture decide the resolution. The slide and the cover glass decide whether the section sits in the focal plane. Stains and dyes as substances are identified on PubChem. Papers on the methods are on PubMed.
