Description
The STAIN MICROBIOLOGY 10% POTASSIUM HYDROXIDE 15ML FOR SKIN FUNGAL PREPARATION is a laboratory reagent designed for use in microbiology and clinical diagnostic applications. The solution contains 10% potassium hydroxide, an inorganic compound effective for dissolving epithelial cells in skin specimens. This allows for clear visualization of fungal elements that may be obscured by cellular debris.
The reagent is supplied in a 15 mL dropper vial, providing precise and controlled dispensing for small-scale laboratory procedures. The liquid solution form enables uniform application on specimens, supporting accurate and reproducible results. The container is designed for safe handling and convenient laboratory use, minimizing the risk of spills or contamination.
Intended for microbiology applications, the 10% potassium hydroxide solution is suitable for the preparation of skin scrapings to identify dermatophytes, yeasts, and other fungal organisms. The reagent facilitates rapid detection of fungal infections by clearing the tissue background while leaving fungal elements intact and visible under microscopic examination.
