Intended Use: For smear staining of acid-resistant bacteria such as mycobacterium, nocardia and leprosy bacillus.
Inspection Principle
The acid-resistant bacteria is stained with the fluorescent stain Auramine O and examined with a fluorescent microscope containing an ultraviolet light source, which will emit a shiny orange color. This method can be used for low-power microscopy and quickly identify acid-resistant bacteria.
