CARBOL FUCHSIN STRONG

Carbol Fuchsin Strong is a concentrated solution widely used in microbiological staining, particularly in acid-fast staining techniques such as the Ziehl-Neelsen method. The strong formulation of Carbol Fuchsin is essential for detecting acid-fast bacteria (AFB), which are resistant to typical staining due to their waxy, lipid-rich cell walls. This product is crucial in the diagnosis of diseases such as tuberculosis and leprosy.

Applications of “Carbol Fuchsin Strong”

1. Acid-Fast Staining:
   • The strong concentration of Carbol Fuchsin is used in the Ziehl-Neelsen stain for identifying acid-fast organisms, especially Mycobacterium tuberculosis. It penetrates the waxy cell walls of acid-fast bacteria, coloring them vividly for easy identification under a microscope.
2. Diagnosis of Tuberculosis and Leprosy:
   • Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Mycobacterium leprae, the causative agents of tuberculosis and leprosy, are effectively stained using Carbol Fuchsin Strong, facilitating accurate laboratory diagnosis.
3. Histopathological Analysis:
   • This product is widely employed in histopathology labs to stain tissue samples that may contain acid-fast bacteria, helping pathologists detect infections at a cellular level.
4. Laboratory Research:
   • Carbol Fuchsin Strong is used in various research laboratories for microbial studies, helping researchers investigate the presence of acid-fast organisms in clinical or environmental samples.
5. Microbial Testing in Public Health:
   • This strong dye is essential for public health labs to screen samples for AFB in populations, playing a critical role in tuberculosis control programs.
