Description

Requires

The usual microbiological equipment such as slides, coverslips, microscope, biohazard bags, etc. are needed for procedures involving the use of this product.

This kit is utilized as a quality control procedure for India Ink wet mounts

India Ink wet mounts are used for the visualization of encapsulated microorganisms, especially Cryptococcus neoformans.

  • India Ink is added to each positive and negative suspension on a glass slide and observed under a microscope.
  • The positive control provides an encapsulated suspension of Cryptococcus neoformans to be utilized when performing India Ink procedures
  • The negative control provides a non-encapsulated suspension of Candida sp. to be utilized when performing India Ink
EXPECTED RESULTS
  • Positive: The polysaccharide capsules will exclude the particles of ink, and the capsules will appear as clear halos around the organisms on semiopaque backgrounds
  • Negative: No capsules present, no clear halos observed
