- #483,094 in Industrial & Scientific (See Top 100 in Industrial & Scientific)
- #85 in Microscope Sample Slides
Single, prepared microscope slide of Escherichia Coli (E-Coli). Wholemount, stained with Gram Stain. E-Coli is a gram-negative bacterium, most commonly found in the digestive system of mammals. While it is not typically harmful, the bacteria may become pathogenic. Excellent for discussion about pathogenic vs non-pathogenic bacteria. The slide measures 75mm (3") wide, 25mm (1") long and 0.06" in height. Slides are expertly prepared and labeled for easy identification. All materials in Eisco Labs slides are completely inert and sealed in glass.

We got a sample of this silde to try out for our Microbiology class, and as I thought from the photos, this is not a Gram stain as it is described. A Gram stain of E. coli would be pink, not purple - it appears that the manufacturer here either doesn't know the difference between a Gram stain and a Simple stain, or doesn't know how to properly do a Gram stain. It's fine if you just want to look at bacteria, but useless if you want to teach about Gram stains.

I would like to give this a thorough review but I am pretty sure it got tossed away. My child opened the package it was in and removed the other item and tossed the package. Lo and behold I later looked and saw this was also marked as in that package. It appears the package must be quite small. I was excited to view some bacteria.
