Q
  1. Apply crystal violet for 1 minute
    a. primary stain = crystal violet
  2. Wash off stain with distilled water
  3. Apply Gram’s iodine for 1 minute
    a. iodine = mordant = combiens with primary stain to form insoluble crystalline compound. crystals get trapped in thick peptidoglycan but fail to be so where it is thin.
  4. Wash off iodine with distilled water
  5. Apply 95% alcohol, drop by drop until alcohol runs clear (no more than 3-4)
    a. crystal violet is washed out of cells with thin peptidoglycan; destroys outer membrane of gram negatives.
  6. Wash off the alcohol with distilled water
  7. Apply safranin for 20 seconds.
    a. safranin is the counterstain.
