SP500ZN-TB STAIN PACK - 1 kitFor staining acid fast bacilli by the Zeihl-Neelsen technique, requirning the stain to be heated. This heating releases phenol vapours which are TOXIC and it is for this reason the KY-TB  technique is increasingly popular with technicians ( no heating required). Approx 200-250 tests.ZN-Carbol Fuchsin 250ml
TB Differentiator 250ml
Counterstain 250ml

SP300DIFF-3 Kit - 1 kitThis is a very popular product. Used daily for routine blood cell differentiation. It has found many uses in Microbiology not least in CSF work, but also where micro-organisms can take up Azure(polychrome blue) dyes,  regularly used these days to rapidly identify Helicobacter .  We can provide technical help in this area if required.    Sample available on request  . There is a 6 page technical leaflet with the kit guiding the user through  the various uses of DIFF-3, some of which are:
-- Rapid Blood Cell differentiation
-- Parasite demonstration
-- H.Pylori demonstration in sections
-- Demonstrate azurophilic organisms
-- Spermatazoa demonstration.
