Notes

The Acid Fast Bacteria (AFB) Stain Kit (MIcroorganism Stain) is intended for use in the histological visualization of Acid Fast Bacteria and Tubercle Bacilli. This kit is a rapid 15-minute procedure. The lipoid capsule of the acid-fast organism takes up carbol fuchsin and resists decolorization. **Other products for staining tissue sections**Find more kits and reagents in the , or products for antigen retrieval, blocking, signal amplification, visualization, counterstaining, and mounting in the .
