Pro-Lab Diagnostics™ Basic Fuchsin Stain (ZN Carbol Fuchsin) is a high-quality staining reagent used in Ziehl–Neelsen (ZN) acid-fast staining procedures for the detection of acid-fast bacteria, particularly Mycobacterium species. This stain is widely used in microbiology and clinical laboratories for the identification of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and other acid-fast organisms in clinical specimens.
Carbol fuchsin is the primary stain in the Ziehl–Neelsen staining method, where the dye penetrates the lipid-rich cell walls of acid-fast bacteria. Following decolorization and counterstaining, acid-fast organisms retain the intense red coloration, allowing clear differentiation from non–acid-fast cells under light microscopy.
This ready-to-use reagent ensures consistent staining performance and reliable results in tuberculosis diagnostics, microbiological investigations, and research laboratories.
