Accurate standardized staining

PREVI COLOR GRAM is an automated Gram stainer system that provides accurate, standardized results for all types of specimens.

• Standardized staining – innovative spray nozzles always
  dispense the same reagent volume
• No cross contamination – each slide separated & fresh staining reagent used each time
• Improved microorganism differentiation compared to
  manual and bath staining results
• Full traceability of reagents, users and maintenance – troubleshoot problems & ensure compliance
• User management to ensure standardization of the process
