PURPOSE
The ASK ACID FAST STAIN (COLD STAIN) is, a stain solution, used for the staining of Mycobacterium tuberculosis/Acid Fast Bacilli.
PRINCIPLE
Phenol appears to combine fuchsin basic dye within Acid Fast Bacilli. When stain is applied, all cells including hard stain Acid Fast, are colored red. All tissue components except the Acid Fast Bacilli are then decolorized. After counterstaining, all decolorized tissue components are colored blue.
