Stains hyphae, conidia, elastin, mucin, and fungi in 1 hour and 40 minutes The Gridley’s Stain is a modification of the Bauer technique in which a fewer number of reactive aldehyde groups remain intact to react with Schiff’s Solution. The result is less background staining and more highly defined fungi. Both Optimized Schiff’s Solution and Aldehyde Fuchsin serve as primary stains, producing pink to purple hyphae, conidia, elastic tissue, and mucin against a yellow background, counterstained by Metanil Yellow. 100ml Stain Kit yields between 30 and 40 slides. Slide Yields assume maximum slides stained per run, maximum runs per use. Actual Slide Yields may vary.

100ml Kit Consists of: 1% Periodic Acid Solution 100ml, Sulfurous Rinse 100ml, Metanil Yellow Solution 100ml, Optimized Schiff's Solution Pint and Aldehyde Fuchsin Stain 100ml.
