Amazon works — especially for people who have loads of responsibility but their list of must-haves are long!

Works as intended

Great set of stains. I ended up ordering some grams iodine to go along with it. Has a nice little booklet that gives you a brief overview of each.

These are professionally useful ( not just for beginners).But quite useful for beginners who want to learn how to use bacterial staining for microscopic examinations (of course you’ll need a microscope and a very understanding mother because unlike stains in kits designed for kids, these stains are the real McCoy ( they don’t wash out).

This was an excellent kit, I was able to use it to successfully identify my cultures easily. The only suggestions I have (and the only reason this isn’t a 5 star review) are as follows:1. The kit should really contain Gram’s Iodine solution, it is necessary for almost all staining techniques so it seems strange not to include in this kit.2. The kit should include better directions for beginners. I have some experience from college, but I had to use online references to refresh my memory. The included directions are not very good and they don’t give you any clear direction on reading results.Otherwise the price is great and the reagents themselves were perfect.

It came with good quality

it was what i ordered and it is good value

This set is OK but lacks appropriate stains for gram stain and giemsa.. can be purchased elsewhere less expensively and with wider range of stains. Check lab supply houses
