Learn More About This Simulation
This short, targeted simulation is adapted from the full-length “The Gram Stain: Identify and differentiate bacteria” simulation.
Do you have a general idea of how the Gram Staining procedure looks like, but you want to practice the exact protocol in a stepwise manner? Do you want to feel comfortable enough with the learned techniques and reasoning behind it, so nothing can surprise you in the lab? This simulation is perfect for you!
Recall the steps in Gram Staining
With this visual minigame, you will have a chance to repeat all steps necessary to perform Gram Staining and prepare samples for later identification. You will repeat the methodology and reasoning behind each reagent and the colorful graphics will help you remember the most crucial parts of the protocol. With this simulation you will be more than ready to try Gram staining in a real lab!

For Science Programs Providing a Learning Advantage
North Dakota State College of Science
“They did the simulation at home, then completed the in-person lab within 30 minutes, no questions asked, and passed the quiz with flying colors.”
Lecturer in Human Physiology
University of Westminster
"I saw some of the students who clearly didn’t necessarily like sitting there reading a book discover they could turn on Labster and keep up with the rest of the class because it spoke to them.
Modesto City Schools
"Having something that's engaging for the students gives teachers that opportunity to breathe and get excited again. Because they're seeing the kids light up, they're seeing the kids engage with content."
Wenatchee Valley College
"The question always is, ‘Can we demonstrate that the students are meeting course outcomes?’ Check! We can do that.”
San José State University
"We surveyed over 400 students. More than 90% thought Labster was easy to navigate, and that it was fun, but more importantly, most of them felt confident that they could execute the labs in person. And that confidence is a big deal."
