AFB, Basic Fuchsin, Ellis & Zabrowarny Stain Kit
Stains acid-fast bacilli without the use of phenol. A surfactant substitution is made for phenol which renders the bacterial cell wall permeable to the stain. Results are comparable to the traditional Ziehl-Neelsen method.

AFB, Fite Stain Kit
Detects the presence of either Nocardia sp. or Mycobacterium leprae sp. (causative agent of leprosy) in tissue sections.

AFB, Ziehl-Neelsen Stain Kit
Detects the presence of acid-fast mycobacteria in tissue sections. Carbol Fuchsin Stain, Ziehl-Neelsen, combines phenol and basic fuchsin that works to permeate the lipoid capsule of acid-fast organisms and renders them resistant to acid alcohol decolorization.
Differential Stain Kit
(use: Hematological Staining & Special Stain for Helicobacter pylori)
Differential staining of peripheral blood smears, touch imprints, fine needle aspirations (FNA), bone marrow biopsy aspirations, as well as detecting Helicobacter pylori sp. in GI tissue. Can be used for smears, touch imprints and tissue sections. This is a modification of the Wright Giemsa Stain technique using aqueous based stain solutions and a methanol fixative. Procedures for both monochromatic and polychromatic versions of the Differential Stain are provided.

Fungus, PAS/Light Green Stain Kit
Stains fungus and glycoproteins. Polysaccharides present in fungal cell walls are oxidized by the periodic acid to aldehydes. The aldehydes then react with Schiff Reagent, McManus to yield magenta colored fungi.
Gram, Brown-Hopps Stain Kit
Stains gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria and uses Gallego solution to differentiate the organisms.
Gram, Brown-Brenn Modified Stain Kit
Used for differential staining of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria in tissue sections, cultures and smears.
