Mucicarmine kit is often used to identify primary tumor sites, distinguishing mucin-negative undifferentiated squamous cell lesions from mucin-positive adenocarcinomas. It can also be used as indicative of diseases such as asthma, bronchitis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and cystic fibrosis.
Mucicarmine kit is used for visualizing acid mucopolysaccharides (mucins), which can be very useful when diagnosing the type of humor (according to the tumor mucin secretion). It is also used in microbiology for identifying microorganisms based on cellular membrane coloration, but that is limited to the microorganisms that have complete cellular membrane (or partially) consisting of polysaccharides.
