Albert stain B by Research Lab Fine Chem Industries is a high grade reagent. This staining solution is one of two stains required for the Albert staining process. This reagent is available as a dark amber coloured liquid. In the staining process, granules stain purple-black against the counterstained cytoplasm, which is light green in colour. Due to the effect of iodine, the metachromatic property is not observed and granules appear blue in colour. This reagent must be stored at temperatures up to 30C, in tightly closed container and protected from bright light. For best results, use is recommended before expiry.

• Quantity provided: 500 ml per bottle
• Formulation contains: Iodine crystals, Potassium iodide and Distilled water

Suitable for staining applications Albert stain B has a wide range of applications in biological industries. This metachromatic stain is used to demonstrate the presence of metachromatic granules which are found in the bacteria, Corynebacterium diphtheria. This staining method helps differentiate diphtheria from most of the short, non-pathogenic, diphtheroides which lack granules. These reagents are suitable for various research applications.
