The Auramine is part of Flourecent Stain Kit for Mycobacteria (Cat. No. 05151). It is used to stain acid-fast organisms as well as Mycobacterium sp. in specimens and in culture. This flourescent method, actually the best procedure, stains selectively mycobacteria by binding dye to the mycolic acid of the cell wall.

Phenolic auramine solution staining can be used for sputum smear microscopy as well as fluorescence microscopy, for diagnosing sputum-smear-negative pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB), in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) positive population, especially in sub-Saharan Africa region.
