Description
Gram's Decolorizer is used in the identification of Gram Positive and Gram Negative organisms. The decolorizer dissolves the lipids in the cell walls of Gram Negative organisms causing the crystal violet-iodine complex to rinse out. Gram Positive organisms resist this and holds onto the crystal violet-iodine complex. Consists of a 75/25 composition of alcohol to acetone. FDA approved for in vitro diagnostic use.
