Merck's SputofluolŪ Pretreatment Solution for TB Testing
 | Merck's SputofluolŪ for Clean and Fast results SputofluolŪ is a pretreatment solution for use with sputum, FNAB, lavages, imprints, body fluids, exudates, puss, liquid, or solid cultures.
Sputum can be pretreated with SputofluolŪ in order to release any mycobacteria from surrounding mucus making the final slide easier to read. The active ingredient in SputofluolŪ is hypochlorite, which oxidatively dissolves the organic material whilst having little effect on the mycobacteria. | In a centrifuge tube mix 1 part of the sample (at least 2 ml) with 3 parts of a 15% SputofluolŪ solution prepared with distilled water, and leave to react for 10 min shaking vigorously from time to time. Centrifuge at 3000-4800 U/ min for 20 min, decant the supernatant, smear out the sediment, allow to dry and follow the instructions for the staining procedure.
Sediments from punction and lavage material, are used in the following way - after carrying out the appropriate enrichment procedures smear the sample onto a microscope slide, allow to dry and follow the instructions for the staining procedure.
Accurate heat fixation of pretreated material is essential. | Product code | Description | Presentation | | 108000 | SputofluolŪ | 1 L | | 116450 | Tb-color staining set (cold stain) | sufficient for 250 preparations specimens | | 100497 | Tb-color modified staining set (hot stain) | sufficient for 250 prepared specimens | | 101597 | Tb-fluor phenol-free staining set (fluorescence stain) | sufficient for 50-60 prepared specimens | | 104699 | Immersion oil | 100 ml, 500 ml | | 115577 | Immersion oil acc. to DIN ISO 8036-mod. | 100 ml | | 106965 | Oil of cedar wood | 100 ml, 500 ml |
