LOEFFLERs soluzione di blu di metilene, 1 l, vetro

LÖFFLER’S methylene blue solution is an aqueous solution.

The solution is used for staining bacteria, fungi and blood parasites in blood smears, e.g. together with carbolic fuchsine solution (Art. No. A130) for Ziehl-Neelsen staining (detection of TB bacteria). Furthermore, it is used as a vital staining agent for selective staining of nuclei during counting of eukaryotic cells (e. g. yeast cells).
