Mordant for Gram Stain Stabilization
Product Overview
Gram’s Iodine acts as a mordant in the Gram stain process, fixing the Crystal Violet into the thick peptidoglycan layer of Gram-positive bacteria. It forms a dye-iodine complex that enhances retention of the primary stain during the critical decolorization step.
As the second reagent in the Gram Stain Kit, Gram’s Iodine plays a vital role in stabilizing the differential stain, helping ensure clear, accurate differentiation between Gram-positive and Gram-negative cells.
Key Features:
- Functions as the mordant in the Gram staining sequence
- Reacts with Crystal Violet to form a stable dye complex
- Enhances stain retention in Gram-positive bacteria
- Critical for contrast development in microbial microscopy
- Integral to the complete Gram Stain Kit (G1005)
