Description

A histological technique used to stain acid-fast organisms, particularly in the diagnosis of leprosy.

  • This method involves the use of a solution of xylene and peanut oil to deparaffinize tissue while preserving the acid-fastness of the bacteria
  • The technique is crucial for identifying Mycobacterium leprae, the causative agent of leprosy, as these bacteria have cell walls containing mycolic acids that are resistant to decolorization with acid-alcohol
  • The peanut oil coats the bacteria, protecting the waxy coat of the cell walls and ensuring the acid-fastness is maintained during the staining process
  • A StatLab - Poly Scientific Special Stain Kit Component
