Product Overview
Schaeffer & Fulton’s Spore Stain B is a specialized staining solution designed for the precise differentiation of bacterial spores in microbiological samples. This high-quality stain is formulated to provide clear contrast between spores and vegetative cells, making it an essential reagent in clinical and research laboratories. The stain works in conjunction with Schaeffer & Fulton’s Spore Stain A to produce distinct coloration, where spores appear green and vegetative cells remain colorless. This dual-stain technique is widely used for diagnostic purposes, particularly in identifying spore-forming bacteria like Bacillus and Clostridium species. The formulation is optimized for consistent performance, ensuring reliable results across various sample types. Its laboratory-grade purity makes it suitable for both routine diagnostic work and advanced research applications. The stain is packaged in convenient volumes to accommodate different laboratory workflows, from small-scale testing to high-throughput analysis.
