- Acid-Fast Detection: It is specially formulated to penetrate the impermeable, lipid-rich cell walls (mycolic acid) of acid-fast bacteria.
- Strong Staining Intensity: The concentrated nature of the dye ensures that target organisms absorb and retain a bright, distinct red/pink color under microscopic examination.
- Versatile Veterinary Diagnostic Tool: It is primarily used to screen animals for Tuberculosis (Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex), Johne’s Disease (Mycobacterium avium ssp. paratuberculosis), and to spot the oocysts of Cryptosporidium in fecal smears.
