Description

Includes

One 250mL bottle each of the following sollutions: Basic Fuchsin, Ethanol, Methylene Blue, Phenol, and Sulfuric Acid

The nocardiae, because of unusual long-chain fatty acids in their cell walls, can retain carbol fuchsin dye with a decolorizer of 1% sulfuric acid in water, whereas other aerobic branching bacilli cannot.
