Our Clients Say It Best....
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
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.”
Jerry Jackson
Microbiology Lead Technologist
Oklahoma Heart Hospital
The GG&B Automated Gram Stainer is easy to
use for entry level to experienced technologist. The
GG&B Automated Gram Stainer precisely stains
and makes differentiating gram negative from
gram positive very easy, even for the novice.”
