Description
Mycobacterium (AFB) Fluorescent Staining Kit – ap-rad
TB-Fluorochrome Staining Kit
Product Description:
The initial laboratory diagnosis of tuberculosis and other mycobacteria depends on the direct examination of stained smears. The cell wall of mycobacteria is rich in complex lipids that prevent the penetration of common aniline dyes. However, the use of fluorochrome dyes makes these bacilli observable even under acid-alcohol conditions.
Thus, not only M. tuberculosis but also all members of the Mycobacterium genus are identified as Acid-Fast Bacilli (AFB). Fluorochrome staining is the best choice for the direct and accurate observation of these bacteria in clinical smears.
Features and Benefits of the Mycobacterium (AFB) Fluorescent Staining Kit:
- Accurate Detection: Enables direct identification of Acid-Fast Bacilli in clinical samples
- High Sensitivity: Remains visible even after washing with acid-alcohol solutions
- Easy-to-Use: Suitable for medical diagnostic and research laboratories
- Rapid Screening: The microscopic method of choice for the initial diagnosis of tuberculosis
Applications of the Mycobacterium (AFB) Fluorescent Staining Kit:
- Medical diagnostic and clinical laboratories
- Microbiology research centers
- Monitoring patients suspected of having tuberculosis
ap-rad, aiming to provide accurate, high-quality diagnostic products, has manufactured this kit to facilitate the detection of Acid-Fast Bacilli in laboratories.
