What is a Congo red stain?
it is some one who is dumb.
What is the difference between a varnish and a stain?
A stain is used to color the wood while a varnish is a topcoat used to protect the wood.
If Congo red is used instead of safranin in the gram stain technique what would happen?
Using Congo red instead of safranin in the Gram stain technique would not provide accurate results. Safranin is essential for counterstaining gram-negative bacteria, whereas Congo red would not differentiate between gram-positive and gram-negative cells due to its staining properties. This would lead to incorrect classification of bacteria in the Gram stain.
What is the difference between Wright stain and Giemsa stain?
The Wright stain is a combination of eosin and methylene blue dyes, while Giemsa stain is a mixture of eosin, methylene blue, and azure dyes. Giemsa stain is commonly used for staining blood smears to visualize parasites and bacteria, while Wright stain is used more for general cell morphology in blood and bone marrow specimens.
Acidic Congo red does not contain carbon particles like Nigrosin but can give the appearance of a negative stain What is the basis for this stain?
Acidic Congo red is a negatively charged dye that can stain the background of a specimen, giving the appearance of a negative stain. This effect is due to the electrostatic repulsion between the negative charge of the dye and the negatively charged cellular components, causing the dye to be excluded from the cells and stain the background instead.
What are the materials used in capsule stain?
The materials used in capsule stain include Congo red and Maneval's solution. Congo red is a primary stain that helps to color the background, while Maneval's solution acts as a counterstain to color the bacterial cells. The combination of these two materials helps to visualize the presence of capsules surrounding bacterial cells.
What is the different between normal dirt and a stain?
The difference between normal dirt and a stain is in their difficult to wash off. Normal dirt comes off easily but a stain is a colored patch which penetrative and thus making it hard to remove.
Which of the following is an example of an acidic stain?
Basic dyes: Crystal violet, Methylene blue, Malachite green, Safranin. Acidic dyes: Nigrosin, Congo red
What is the correct stain to use on stomach fat biopsy or bone marrow biopsy to diagnose Amyloidosis?
Congo Red Stain, NOT WRIGHT STAIN, is the most definitive way to diagnose it. You can find that information on the Mayo Clinic website. Also, if anyone watced the HOUSE t.v. show in September 2006, you probably remember that they used Congo Red Stain to diagnose Amyloidosis for a male patient.
What is the basic for gram stain results between different bacteria?
its the difference in cell wall of both the type of bacteria
What is the difference between 'dieing' and 'dying'?
The difference between Dieing and Dying is that Dieing means to stain with color. Cut, form shape with a die as in metal. Dying means passing away as in death.
What is Congo Red?
Congo red is the sodium salt of benzidinediazo-bis-1-naphtylamine-4-sulfonic acid (formula: C32H22N6Na2O6S2). It is a secondary diazo dye. Congo red is water soluble, yielding a red colloidal solution; its solubility is better in organic solvents such as ethanol.It has a strong, though apparently non-covalent affinity to cellulose fibres. However, the use of Congo red in the cellulose industries (cotton textile, wood pulp & paper) has long been abandoned, mainly because of its toxicity.Conga Red is an acidic stain primarily used to stain bacterial cells to test for capsules. The Conga Red stain is used to stain a microscope slide background against the colorless cell. Then a basic stain like Maneval's Stain is used to stain the cell. The capsule surrounding some cells will repel the stains and appear colorless against a red (Conga Red) background. The cell inside the capsule will be stained light purple from the Maneval's Stain.
