This kit is commonly used demonstrate the causative organism of leprosy. The MasterTech Fite’s Stain Kit differs from similar kits or procedures in that Advanced Carbol Fuchsin™ (ACF) is used instead of a standard Carbol Fuchsin and Light Green is used as a counterstain instead of Methylene Blue. In comparison to standard Carbol Fuchsins, MasterTech ACF™ requires no heat and has a much shorter staining time by combining all three fuchsin dyes. Light Green is a much better counterstain than Methylene Blue, as it provides higher contrast against the red stained bacteria. Advanced Carbol Fuchsin™ serves as the primary stain, producing red bacteria against a blue background counterstained by Light Green.

• KTFIT   100ml Stain Kit yields between 53-66 slides.
• KTFITPT Pint Stain Kit yields between 211-330 slides.
