American Mastertech Scientific 1-800-860-4073 has two gram stain kits...the
Brown & Brenn Cat.No.KTBBR, and a modified Gram Stain - which does not use
the picric acid/acetone decolorizer Cat.No.KTMGS.

  Hi fellow histonetters:
Speaking of the B&B gram stain, does anyone out there know of a method that
uses something other than picric acid/acetone to differentiate?? Would
appreciate any info!! (we're trying to avoid using picric, if at all
possible)
