  • QBC F.A.S.T. Auramine O Stain
    QBC F.A.S.T.TM Auramine O Stain Kit Instruction Manual 4277-400-053 Rev. I Revised 2018-11-20 English QBC F.A.S.T.TM Auramine O Stain Kit Intended Use For use as a stain for smears made from patient specimens or cultures in the detection or characterization of acid fast bacilli such as Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Summary and Principles The worldwide incidence of tuberculosis has been on an increasing trend since at least 1990, when the World Health Organization began tracking incidence data1. Early and accurate detection of tuberculosis is critical for both effective control and treatment of the disease. The most common method for detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis is the use of sputum smear microscopy1, which can provide both an initial presumptive diagnosis as well as a quantification of the mycobacterial load. Acid fast bacilli, such as Mycobacterium tuberculosis, can be stained by aniline dyes and are resistant to decolorization by acid and alcohol. When followed by a counterstain, this treatment results in the acid fast bacilli staining with contrast to other organisms and debris that have retained only the counterstain. However, the staining methods classically used for acid fast microscopy result in a smear that can be difficult and time consuming to read. Auramine O and auramine-rhodamine stains have been successfully used for fluorescence based microscopy of mycobacteria. Reports of mechanism of staining are conflicting; these include Auramine O binding to the cell wall of the mycobacteria2 and the stain binding 1 to “most if not all” the Auramine O binding to the nucleic acid in the mycobacteria3.

  • Auramine O C.I. 41000
    AURAMINE O C.I. 41000 IVD In vitro diagnostic medical device Basic Yellow 2, BSC certified stain For staining acid-fast lung tissue bacteria acc. to Truant INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE REF Product code: AU-P-25 (25 g) Introduction Histology, cytology and other related scientific disciplines study the microscopic anatomy of tissues and cells. In order to achieve a good tissue and cellular structure, the samples need to be stained in a correct manner. Auramine O powder dye is used in various staining methods in microscopy. It is used in clinical microbiology and histology for detecting tuberculosis Mycobacteria and other acid-fast bacteria. Staining using Auramine O is a fluorescent method of visualizing acid-fast bacteria. Mycobacteria are difficult to stain due to high amount of lipids and wax in their cellular membranes. When stained using Auramine O dye, acid-fast mycobactera retain the dye even when exposed to strong destaining solutions, such as HCl-ethanol. Product description AURAMINE O - Biological Stain Commission (BSC) certified powder dye for preparing solution for detecting Mycobacterium tuberculosis and other acid-fast bacteria Other preparations and reagents used in preparing the dye solution: Microscopy powder dyes, such as BioGnost's Rhodamine B dye (product code RHB-P-25) Phenol (C6H5OH) Glycerol (C3H5(OH)3) Preparing the solutions for staining Auramine O-Rhodamine B staining solution: Dissolve by mixing 3 g of Auramine O powder dye adn 1.5 g of Rhodamine B powder dye in 150 ml of glycerol at room temperature. Add 20 ml of molten phenol (at 45oC) and 100 ml of distilled/demineralized water After mixing, filter through glass wool Results Tb bacterija (ARB) - red or greenish fluorescence Background - dark Note The mentioned formulation is only one of the ways of preparing the dye solution.

  • The Sensitizing and Indicator Action of Victoria Blue and Janus Green on the Flocculation Reaction for Syphilis
    In the case of sulphonamides, cultures resistant to sulphanilamide were resistant or partially resistant to the other members of this group with the exception of marfanil. Resistance once acquired seems to be permanent, and so far we have not been successful in reducing it in vitro. REFERENCES. ALBERT, A., FRANCIS, A. E., GARROD, L. P., AND LINNELL, W. H.-(1938) Brit.

THE SENSITIZING AND INDICATOR ACTION OF VICTORIA BLUE AND JANUS GREEN ON THE FLOCCULATION REACTION FOR SYPHILIS. F. M. BERGER. From the Public Health Laboratory, County Hall, Wakefield. Received for publication November 9, 1943. DEAN (1937) found that isamine blue could act as an indicator of the reaction between an antigen and its homologous antibody. The addition of the dye to a mixture of horse serum and dilute antiserum produced a precipitate which was easily visible because it took up all the dye from the supernatant fluid. Prof. P. L. Suther- land suggested the possibility of using isamine blue as indicator in serological tests for syphilis.

  • Application of Taguchi Method and Response Surface Methodology Into
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Application of Taguchi method and response surface methodology into the removal of malachite green and auramine‑O by NaX nanozeolites Siroos Shojaei1*, Saeed Shojaei2, Shahab S. Band3*, Amir Abbas Kazemzadeh Farizhandi4, Milad Ghoroqi5 & Amir Mosavi6 In the present study, the simultaneous removal of malachite green (MG) and auramine‑O (AO) dyes from the aqueous solution by NaX nanozeolites in a batch system is investigated. Taguchi method and response surface methodology (RSM) were used to optimize and model dye removal conditions. In order to do so, the efect of various factors (dyes concentration, sonication time, ionic strength, adsorbent dosage, temperature, and pH of the solution) on the amount of dye removal was evaluated by the Taguchi method. Then, the most important factors were chosen and modeled by the RSM method so as to reach the highest percentage of dye removal. The proposed quadratic models to remove both dyes were in good accordance with the actual experimental data. The maximum removal efciencies of MG and AO dyes in optimal operating conditions were 99.07% and 99.61%, respectively. Also, the coefcients of determination (R2) for test data were 0.9983 and 0.9988 for MG and AO dyes, respectively. The reusability of NaX nanozeolites was evaluated during the adsorption process of MG and AO. The results showed that the adsorption efciency decreases very little up to fve cycles. Moreover, NaX nanozeolites were also applied as adsorbents to remove MG and AO from environmental water samples, and more than 98.1% of both dyes were removed from the solution in optimal conditions.
