The compositions of decolorizing solutions for Gram staining can vary, with different concentrations used instead of a 50:50 ratio of alcohol to acetone. For instance, HT903-8oz (65092) contains 75% isopropanol and 25% acetone, available in 500 ml or 4-liter sizes. Additionally, 65092 is available in 500 ml or 4-liter sizes and contains 80% isopropyl alcohol and 20% acetone, while 110218 contains 80% ethanol and 20% acetone and is available in 500 ml or 2.5-liter sizes. Differences in performance between decolorizers formulated with isopropyl alcohol and ethanol might be observed. It might be preferable to rule out HT903-8oz due to its unavailability in larger sizes at this time, but comparing the performance between formulations with isopropyl alcohol and ethanol could be considered.
