Description

Prepare clinical specimens for microscopic examination of fungal elements with BactiDrop™ Potassium Hydroxide.

Prepare clinical specimens for microscopic examination of fungal elements with Thermo Scientific™ Remel™ BactiDrop™ Potassium Hydroxide.The Laboratory Handbook of Medical Mycology recommends the use of 10% KOH for rapid detection of fungal elements1. McGowan reported the use of 10% KOH but warned that a lack of contrast between fungal elements and clinical specimens may occur2. Hence, she recommended phase-contrast microscopy for improved visibility. The formulation of 10% KOH is recommended by the Mayo Clinic Mycology Laboratory3.

Potassium Hydroxide (KOH) is used to prepare clinical specimens for microscopic examination of fungal elements. KOH preparations may be made for all clinical specimens except spinal fluid and urine4. KOH disrupts cellular sheets or clumps of proteinaceous debris that may be present and clears the specimen which makes it easy to detect fungus5. Glycerin in the KOH solution reduces the amount of precipitation in the reagent container and prevents KOH preparations from drying for at least 18-24 hours.Potassium Hydroxide contains potassium hydroxide (CAS 1310-58-3), glycerine (CAS 56-81-5) and demineralized water (CAS 7732-18-5). This product is for in vitro diagnostic use and should be used by properly trained individuals. This reagent has been tested using quality control procedure and found to be acceptable. The reagent is supplied as 0.75 mL ampules.Not all products are available for sale in all territories. Please inquire.Remel™ and Oxoid™ products are now part of the Thermo Scientific brand.
