Re: Twort's Gram stain
Jeanine,
We routinely use Twort's as outlined in "Carletons Histological Technique"
with the modification that I use acetone to differentiate the crystal
violet and the dehydrating ethanols to differentiate the neutral red in the
Twort's counterstain. We make our own solutions.
Regards, Laurie.
