ENG Scientific Trichrome Stain Kit with PVA Solution

Description

For staining of intestinal protozoa. Use with Trichrome Stain Kit (For Intestinal Protozoa) with PVA Solution. Kit contains 100 mL of each Solution. Not to be confused with Gomori's Trichrome Stain used for Histology.

A simple and quick technique for staining intestinal protozoa based on the principle of the attraction that these parasites show for the Chromotrope 2R dyes.

PVA Solution, when mixed with liquid stool specimens, (3-4 drops PVA with 1-2 drops of fecal material on a slide) provides excellent adhesion of specimen to slides, if allowed to dry several hours at 35°C or overnight at room temperature. Schaudinn fixative will properly fix and hold fresh stool specimens that have been thinly spread on a slide. (5 minutes at 50°C or 1 hour at room temperature) Smears may be left in fixative for several hours or 1-2 days without harm. PVA fixative (a combination of PVA Solution and Schaudinn's fixative) will adhere as well as preserve organisms and prevent their loss during staining. One distinct advantage of PVA fixative is that it makes possible the successful staining of organisms in liquid specimens.
