Acid-Fast Bacteria (AFB-NA) Stain Kit (Green Counterstain) is a differential bacteriological stain used to identify and detect the presence of acid-fast Mycobacteria in FFPE tissues. Acid-fast techniques are valuable for detecting mycobacteria, rod-shaped organisms that sometimes exhibit filamentous (fungus like) growth. The most significant disease-causing mycobacteria are Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Mycobacterium leprae. The staining method for acid-fast bacilli is like the classical bacteriological procedure for smears. This product is not intended for diagnostic or therapeutic use. The results should be interpreted by qualified personnel in conjunction with other clinical and laboratory findings.
