[Histonet] Gram Stain

[Giroux, Stacy]

Hi,

Our lab is currently transitioning from the Brown & Brenn gram stain due to no longer wanting to store picric acid due to its potential hazards. Our pathologists have requested a gram stain for paraffin embedded tissue that looks similar but does not use picric acid or ether. Does anyone have any suggestions on stains that could be used or gram stain kits that are available for purchase that are good?

Thank you for your help,
Stacy
