The lactophenol base acts as a preservative, preventing fungal growth in the stain itself, while cotton blue enhances contrast for better visibility. This combination makes it a staple in labs studying fungi, molds, and yeasts.
For best results, apply a small drop to your slide, add the fungal sample, and cover with a coverslip. The stain works quickly, allowing for immediate observation. Store the bottle tightly sealed to maintain its efficacy.
