Cryptosporidium Stains

all you need for successful staining

Product Description:

Cryptosporidium sps. is now recognized as an important intestinal pathogen in patients with HIV infection. Routine parasitological techniques fail to demonstrate this protozoa. Modified Acid Fast staining techniques prove effective in staining this organism.

For staining these slides SDL’s new product Acri-Fluor or other fluorescent techniques or Crypto Kinyoun Mini & Standard Stain Sets (Cat No. 371 & 373) are available. Each Mini-Stain Set contains two 15ml leakproof dropping bottles with Stain and Counterstain and 30ml of Decolorizer. The Standard Stain Set contains three 60ml bottles. Instructions for staining are included in package insert. SDL's Crypto Kinyoun Modified Acid Fast Stain Set (Cat. No. 379) contains a 250ml bottle of each of the necessary reagents.
