This biotech kit contains all the equipment necessary for the identification and characterisation of bacteria, via Gram staining.
Gram staining is a rapid and effective identification method that has been one of the most essential tools in the classification of bacteria.
In this experiment, students will use Gram staining techniques to examine the size, shape, deposition and gram status (+/-) of known strains of bacteria: Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtilis and Micrococcus luteus.
In addition, they learn:
Understand gram staining and its medical significance and use
Differences in bacterial diversity and classification
The technique of cell staining and microscopy
Identify common bacteria based on size, shape, location and gram status
Contains material for: 8 groups
Trial time: approx. 90 minutes
This set includes:
Instructions, BactoBeads™, bottle of ReadyPour™ LB growth medium, Petri dishes, 10 ml sterile pipette, pod needles, toothpicks, disposable pipettes, slides, Gram's Crystal Violet, Gram's Iodine, Gram's Safranin, sterile water, microcentrifuge tube.
What else you need:
Microscope, cover slip for the slide, immersion oil (if using 100x lens), microwave, pipette ball, incubator, clock/timer, tweezers or clothes peg, Bunsen burner, felt tip pen, beaker, waste cup, large weighing boat as waste tray, spray bottles (recommended), tea towel, 95% ethanol, distilled water, gloves.
Download the English manual under documents.
In the manual, the entire experimental procedure is described in detail, supplemented by theoretical background material.
Always remember to check the latest updated instructions on Edvotek's website, via the link provided with the kit. Here you can also download the interpretation of results and answers to the questions of the supervising student.
