Dear Histoneters: If Gram stains are not always working consistently: how likely is it that crystal violet has gone "bad". My first suspect is the decoloration step, then age of the culture, then thickness of the smear. However, I do not want to disregard any possibility, such as bad reagents. Please, email any feedback directly to me, blayjo...@gmail.com.
