Description

Microscopic staining is one of the methods used to detect Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Mycobacterial cell walls contain mycolic acid, which binds strongly to the dye and is "acid-resistant".

Fluorescent dyestuff auramine-rhodamine combined with mycotic acid in acid-resistant cell wall, and it tolerated acid-alcohol (decolorant) cleaning and decolorization. The inverse potassium permanganate is used to show staining organisms. The AFB (fluorescent) reagent can be used not only in auto stainer, but also in manual staining. The reagent has good stability and effect.

 Application

It is used for acid-fast staining of mycobacterium, nocardia and other bacteria, including fluorescence staining.
