Carbol Fuchsin
Carbol fuchsin Strong is used as a dye to detect acid fast bacteria. Carbol Fuchsin forms an acid insoluble complex with the Mycolic acid present on the Acid-Fast Bacilli and renders red / pinkish red color to Mycobacterium tuberculosis or Mycobacterium leprae. Carbol Fuchsin is the primary stain used in the AFB staining procedure using the Kinyoun Method. Carbol Fuchsin is used to detect acid-fast microorganisms, specifically mycobacterium.
Carbol fuchsin is a histological stain used in microbiology to distinguish acid-fast bacteria from non-acid-fast bacteria. Carbol fuchsin stains the cell walls of acid-fast bacteria bright red, while other cells are unstained or slightly stained. Carbol fuchsin is also used in veterinary medicine and phytopathology for similar purposes. Carbol fuchsin staining solution (1:1) is designed for use in medical and histological diagnostics and is ideal for staining bacteria and sperm. It enables the differential visualization of structures due to its specific binding ability.
Chemically, carbol fuchsin is a solution of basic fuchsin, phenol and ethanol. Carbol Fuchsin is capable of visualizing cell structures by binding directly to cell components, while phenol acts as a mediator to make cell walls permeable to staining.
