This reagent contains phenol which precipitates cytoplasmic proteins and inactivates enzyme systems within fungal cell. Glycerol prevents drying, allowing for examination of the stain 18-24 hours after preparation. Lactic acid is a clearing agent. Aniline blue is a dye which stains the hyaline fungal structures making them more distinct.
