Short Decsription
Tri-kit for staining of acid-fast bacteria (pathogenic mycobacteria) in tissue sections, sputum, smears and culture smears according to Ziehl-Neelsen. Heating of the carbolic fuchsin solution was avoided in this protocol, thus omitting the release of harmful phenolic vapors.
Description
According to Ziehl-Neelsen, the most common and well-known method used to detect TB bacteria is staining. This method uses Carbol Fuchsin as the main dye, acidic alcohol as the decolorization medium, and methylene blue solution as the contrast dye. Creative Biolabs' TB-Stain Hot Kit contains TB Carbol Fuchsin Reagent, two packs of TB Decolorizer, and Methylene Blue Loeffler Reagent.
