Gram staining kit, for microscopy, 1 kit, glass

Gram staining kit is a ready laboratory set intended for microscopy workflows in bacteriology and related life-science applications. Supplied as one complete kit in glass packaging, it supports the classical differentiation of bacterial cells according to cell-wall properties under the light microscope. The preparation shows a density of approximately 1 g/cm³ and a flash point above 12 °C, indicating a flammable liquid character that must be handled with standard laboratory precautions; it is also assigned UN number 2924 for transport classification. This kit from manufacturer Carl ROTH is designed for routine Gram staining procedures in teaching, clinical, and research microscopy laboratories where consistent reagent presentation and glass containment are preferred. The unit quantity is one kit, with a total package weight of 4,980 kg, making it suitable for bench-top use and shared staining stations. Users can integrate the kit into established staining sequences without reformulating individual dye solutions. Always consult the accompanying safety documentation before first use and observe local rules for flammable laboratory reagents during storage, handling, and disposal.
