Two-reagent merthiolate-iodine-formalin kit for fixing and staining fecal parasites (especially protozoa, cysts, helminthic eggs and larvae). The stool sample is fixed with formalin and stained with two coloring agents; iodine and Eosin Y.
BioGnost’s M.I.F. kit enables rapid and simple detection of parasites in the stool, especially protozoa (amoeba). This method simultaneously fixes and stains the sample by providing an optimal image for viewing nuclear structures necessary for the identification of certain kinds of protozoa. Vegetative and cystic forms of parasites have different dye affinities. M.I.F. kit enables differential staining of parasites and concentrates parasitic elements on the surface of the sediment.
