PREVI® COLOR GRAM

Automated Gram Staining

"Gram-staining automation with the PREVI COLOR GRAM has improved the consistency and quality of slides, reducing potential variability among samples."
-Tim Drake, Microbiology Lab Manager, Grady Memorial Hospital

Traditional Gram staining is a cumbersome procedure that lacks reliability and reproducibility. PREVI COLOR GRAM is an automated Gram staining system that utilizes patented spray technology to provide rapid, standardized results for all types of specimen while adding efficiency to the microbiology process.

  • Standardized result that is not user-dependent
  • Finished product ready to read in as little as 5 minutes
  • Assurance of quality – no worry of cross contamination
  • Minimal hands-on time and clean up
  • Reduces reagent use and waste
