Cyanoditolyl tetrazolium chloride has been used to measure the redox activity of tumor cells. It has also been employed for direct epifluorescent microscopic enumeration of respiring bacteria in food samples and environmental samples, especially water samples.

This quality control slide provides a single, air-dried and methanol-fixed fecal smear containing Acid Fast-Positive Cryptosporidium and Acid Fast-Negative intestinal bacteria.

A valuable stain in general histology and cytology. Gives sharp, clear-cut pictures of both nuclei and cytoplasmic structures. Also useful for differentiation of fungi.

A near-infrared fluorescent probe for detection of apoptotic cells, bacteria and other anionic membranes. The PSVue® 794 reagent kit contains components to provide a 1 mM solution of PSVue®794 in aqueous solution.

A long wavelength ultraviolet fluorescent probe for detection of apoptotic cells, bacteria, and other anionic membranes. The PSVue® 380 (formerly PSS-380) reagent kit contains components to provide a 1 mM solution of PSVue® 380 in aqueous solution.

Designed to be used with our Fungi Fluor Kit Pneumocystis Kit (Cat. #22363), these slides are unstained.

For staining bacteria from cultures or specimens by the differential Gram stain method. Kit performs 150 tests.

The PSVue643^® kit contains 0.25mL of a 1mM solution of PSVue643^® in water. The compound has an absorbance max at 643nm and a fluorescence emission max at 658nm.

The PSVue^® 550 reagent kit contains components to provide ~0.5 mL of 1 mM solution of PSVue^® 550. The compound has an absorbance max at 553nm and fluorescence emission max at 615nm.

Vial contains 1mg of solid. PSVue^® Biotin can be complexed with streptavidin-coated quantum dots (not provided) for in vivo and in vitro use. Procedures to formulate and prepare are provided.

Method of staining acid-fast microorganisms, specifically mycobacterium. Procedure is similar to Ziehl-Neelson stain, but does not involve heating the slides.

Nichrome^® 5 wire inoculating loop 1μl.

Sterile disposable plastic inoculating loops.

Bacteriological stain kit used to identify acid-fast organisms, mainly Mycobacteria. Helpful in diagnosing Mycobacterium tuberculosis since its lipid rich cell wall makes it resistant to Gram stain.

Fluorochrome staining of mycobacteria in an acid-fast smear offers several advantages over traditional carbol-fuchsin methods. Lower magnification is required; fluorescent mycobacteria stand out brightly on a darkened background. Smaller numbers of mycobacteria are easily identified with a fluorescent stain.

The Fungi-Fluor^® Kit for Fungal Detection offers a quick fluorescent stain/counterstain procedure for various fungal organisms. The kit can be used to screen a variety of specimen types, such as sputum and skin scrapings, for fungal detection.

Pneumocystis jiroveci (previously named P. carinii) is an organism that can cause Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (PCP) in immunocompromised patients. PCP, long associated with morbidity and mortality with HIV-infected (AIDS) patients, is now increasing in prevalence among the non-HIV infected immunosuppressed population. Early detection allows the introduction of appropriate treatment and may improve chances of patient survival. The Fungi Fluor^® Pneumocystis kit offers a fast, fluorescent staining procedure for Pneumocystis carinii in bronchial specimens.

Product is for research use only in Europe.

This quality control slide provides two air-dried and methanol-fixed droplets within two etched circles. The circle nearest the label contains a droplet of an Acid Fast-Positive Mycobacterium gordonae, a derivative of ATCC^® 14470™*. The circle furthest from the label contains a droplet of an Acid Fast-Positive Cryptosporidium in a fecal sample and also contains Acid Fast-Negative intestinal bacteria.

This quality control slide provides a single, air-dried and methanol-fixed preparation containing Candida albicans, a derivative of ATCC^® 10231™* with Leucocytes and Erythrocytes.
