Is acid fast stain a type of differential stain?
Yes, acid-fast stain is a type of differential stain.
What is the counter or secondary stain used in the acid-fast stain technique?
The counter or secondary stain used in the acid-fast stain technique is methylene blue.
Do acid-fast bacteria stain gram-negative when subjected to the gram stain?
No, acid-fast bacteria do not stain gram-negative when subjected to the gram stain.
Is the acid fast stain positive or negative in the sample?
The acid-fast stain is positive in the sample.
Is the acid fast stain result positive or negative for the sample?
The acid-fast stain result is positive for the sample.
Is acid fast stain a type of differential stain?
Yes, acid-fast stain is a type of differential stain.
What is the decolorizing agent in the acid fast stain?
The decolorizing agent in the acid fast stain is acid alcohol. The decolorizing agent in the gram stain is ethanol.
What is the counter or secondary stain used in the acid-fast stain technique?
The counter or secondary stain used in the acid-fast stain technique is methylene blue.

The acid-fast stain is positive in the sample.
What are the name of cold acid fast stain?
The cold acid-fast stain used for Mycobacterium tuberculosis is called the Kinyoun stain or the Kinyoun cold stain. This staining technique is commonly used to identify acid-fast bacteria that are not easily stained by traditional methods.
Is the acid fast stain result positive or negative for the sample?
The acid-fast stain result is positive for the sample.
Which color is common to both the gram stain and the acid-fast stain?
The color common to both the gram stain and the acid-fast stain is red/pink. In the gram stain, Gram-negative bacteria appear red or pink after staining with safranin, while in the acid-fast stain, acid-fast bacteria such as Mycobacterium species retain the red/pink color of carbol fuchsin despite decolorization with acid-alcohol.
Is mordant used in acid fast stain?
Yes, a mordant is used in the acid-fast stain technique. The mordant used is heat to help drive the primary stain, usually carbol-fuchsin, into acid-fast bacteria, such as Mycobacterium species, which resist decolorization with acid-alcohol.
Why is the counter stain for gram stain procedure differ from the counter stain used for acid fast procedure?
The counter stain used in the Gram stain procedure is typically safranin or basic fuchsin, which stains Gram-negative bacteria pink or red. In the acid-fast stain procedure, the counter stain used is typically methylene blue or brilliant green, which stains non-acid-fast bacteria blue or green, allowing acid-fast bacteria to retain the primary stain color (carbolfuchsin).
Why does copper roofs stain and discolour when affected by acid rain?
the acid rain melts the colour off of the copper and is left with a stain
How can you clean a battery acid stain from fabric?
