Innovating Science microbiology kit is used to grow, stain, and study bacteria. The kit has activities for practicing staining techniques, including staining bacterial cells to examine their morphology, and Gram staining to determine if bacteria are Gram-positive, Gram-negative, or both. The kit has an instructions and material safety data sheet (MSDS) packet for product information and handling procedures, and contains the following items: sterile petri dishes and cotton swabs, ent agar, methylene blue, crystal violet, Gram’s iodine, safranin, ethanol, and micro slides. The kit is suitable for age 13 and older with adult supervision, and meets the requirements for Department of Transportation (DOT) small quantity exemption 173.4, and conforms to 49 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 173.4 for domestic highway or rail transport only. Science education products incorporate applied math and science principles into classroom and homeschool-based projects. Teachers in pre-K, elementary, and secondary classrooms use science education kits and products alongside science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) curriculum to demonstrate STEM concepts and real-world applications through hands-on activities. Science education projects include a broad range of activities, such as practical experiments in engineering, aeronautics, robotics, energy, chemistry, physics, biology, and geology. Innovating Science products, manufactured by Aldon Corporation, include educational kits for the chemistry, life science, green chemistry, advanced placement chemistry, and forensic fields. Aldon Corporation was founded in 1964, and is headquartered in Avon, NY.
