Solution III - Ethanol, ENG Scientific

Description

Modified Toluidine Blue O Stain allows the Pneumocystis carinii cysts to be visualized more easily after staining. For Pneumocystis carinii Stain Kit (Modified Toluidine Blue O Stain).

• Solution I - Toluidine Blue O Stain
• Solution II - Ethanol (95%)
• Solution III - Ethanol Solution IV - Xylene
• Pneumocystis carinii is an opportunist which causes a diffuse interstitial pneumonia in patients with impaired immune systems.
• The disease itself can be classified as epidemic or sporadic; the latter occurring in patients who have an underlying immunosuppression.
• In this procedure, a sulfation reagent of glacial acetic acid and sulfuric acid (not included) is used for the removal of background material.
• This allows the Pneumocystis carinii cysts to be visualized more easily after staining with Toluidine Blue O.
• Diagnosis of Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia can frequently be made on bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) or on touch preparations of pulmonary tissue (open lung biopsies and transbronchial biopsies).
• Contents: Toluidine Blue O, HCl, Ethanol, Xylene
• These solutions are made from certified dyes (when applicable).
