"We were having difficulties on our CAP proficiency testing for gram staining. The difficulties were caused, in my opinion by lack of standardizing. The AGS provides that level of standardization that I was looking for. We have had excellent results in using the AGS-1000.” Stephen A. Sequeira, MT(ASCP)Laboratory Manager Memorial Hospital Los Banos, California Tel: 209.827.8204
"The GG&B Automated Gram Stainer has made gram staining much easier for our laboratory, especially for the clinical techs that have to cover Microbiology at night. It is quick, easy to use and has standardized our results for Gram stains. The AGS-1000 has made gram staining less labor intensive because you can place the slide in the Stainer and walk away to do something else, while it is staining for you. The AGS-1000 requires no maintenance at all. The instrument keeps track of the cycles so it will tell you when it needs to perform a cuvette wash and it also keeps track of the stain count. The quality of the stained slide is excellent. No more questioning whether you overdecolorized or not, which is very comforting for our night shift clinical techs. The customer service at GG&B is unmatched. They are the friendliest and most helpful people that I have ever dealt with. Our supply order is usually delivered to us the very next day. Thanks, GG&B for making our lives here in the Gram Staining world SO! much easier.”
