HiCold Stain TB - Kit for Mycobacteria

Details

HiCold Stain TB Kit is recommended for microscopic investigation of Mycobacterium by Cold acid-fast staining method (Kinyoun method). The omission of heating step is made possible by increasing the concentration of basic fuchsin in carbol fuchsin solution. When stained with carbol fuchsin, acid acid-fast bacilli stain with red colour. They remain red after counterstaining with loeffler’s methylene blue, whereas the microorganisms susceptible to acid take on the blue colour.
