Stains for mycobacteria (acid fast bacteria) in as little as 10 minutes. This procedure is popular in labs which have a fluorescence capable microscope, as the contrast is much greater than standard light microscope procedures. Auramine O-Rhodamine B serves as the primary stain, producing fluorescent yellow to orange bacteria against a black background produced by Eriochrome Black T. 100ml kit yields between 36-45 slides. Slide Yields assume maximum slides stained per run, maximum runs per use. Actual Slide Yields may vary.

100ml Kit Consists of: Auramine O-Rhodamine B Stain 100ml, Acid Alcohol Solution Pint, Eriochrome Black T Stain 100ml.

All kit components are available for purchase individually. Both kits are sealed with a tamper-evident label for quality assurance. All kit components should be stored in a dry environment between 15º C and 30º C. Please review all component labels to ensure correct storage temperature.
