Description
EDM3 Crystal Violet is the primary stain of the Gram staining method used in microbiology. Microbiology benches run Gram and differential sequences on a daily cycle, and Crystal Violet is supplied ready for that bench work.
- Ready to Use - the Crystal Violet line is supplied at the stated strength in 1 x 8 oz, 16 oz and 1 Gallon
- Documented Shipping Class - hazmat and limited-quantity classifications are published for the microbiology stain configurations in 1 x 8 oz, 16 oz and 1 Gallon
- 3 Configurations - configurations run from 1 x 8 oz to 1 Gallon, each with its own EDM3 item number
The Crystal Violet listing covers 3 configurations, spanning 1 x 8 oz, 16 oz and 1 Gallon. Crystal Violet comes at working strength, so technologists can run the standard staining sequence without dilution steps. Each configuration of the microbiology stain, from 1 x 8 oz to 1 Gallon, is sold as its own EDM3 item number, so the concentration and container on the shelf match the line on the order. Safety data sheets published by the manufacturer cover the configurations of this microbiology stain (1 x 8 oz, 16 oz and 1 Gallon), and the documents section below links them for the lab's chemical inventory file. 1 of the 3 configurations of this microbiology stain in this listing carry a hazmat transport classification, which limits them to ground shipping within the contiguous United States.
