• Has a short shelf life of only one year, because this product is only formulated upon demand to ensure the longest possible shelf life for the client and maximum reliability.

• Is the most common counterstain for use in the routine gram stain despite not being recommended for Haemophilus or Neisseria spp. where Saffranin or Neutral red are generally recommended. For gram negative organisms in paraffin sections dilute carbol fuschin is preferred-ref. Engebek, Johansen & Jensen. J.Clin.Path.1979, 32, 187-90.

• QA performance is assessed on a mixed gram organism smear.
