[@VictorDinh]

Thank you very kindly; your videos are very helpful! Your students are lucky to have someone so enthusiastic instructing them.

[@TravelingDorks]

Wow, Thank you!! Very helpful for my Microbiology class. You taught it a million times better than my professor.

PPE is never a waste

[@MedGuy10]

Thanks so much! I did this in class, but needed to see it at home again! -Katie

[@luvbeingmama83]

This was very helpful. you gave so much info and helped me understand.

[@liakamatt]

fair play to the lady it simply explains the procedure (not sure why albert is present ? ) yet im not sure about the procedure of using a paper towel which is not subject to crosscontamination, very well explained and visually shown ( cant spell demonstrated)

[@bioprofaz]

No, there is not a mordant. Heat can be used to drive the stain into the mycolic acid wall. It basically depends on which procedure you are using. If you are using the Ziehl-Neelsen procedure you will use heat and steam it for five minutes. I also have a video for that particular procedure.

"Helpful to me as a student of Clinical Laboratory Science."Thanks a lot...

[@bahin3]

Thank you. Great Video and explains a lot.

[@bioprofaz]

@jamalshah881 It depends on which procedure you use. Heating it will help the stain penetrate the cell wall.

This teacher is so awesomeee! I love you marry me

[@luvbeingmama83]

so there is no mordant used with the acid fast technique? i thought it was heat.

[@jamalshah881]

please tell me dont we heat it after carbol fuschin and leave it for 5 mins

[@HFS636]

is it safe to use Mycobacterium in the lab?

[@Dsgagp]

Hi, How can I get the manual you refer in your videos? i'm really interest on it. Thanks, Daniel.

[@nakasholepaulusn587]

Like it hope you will keep us upto dated....

[@dianar.2990]

Don't you have to use steam for five minutes so that the carbolfuchsin can penetrate through the cell wall?

[@risabailey749]

what happened if we put methyl alcohol instead acid alcohol?

[@GuerillaManifesto]

@Wressnigg When you heat seal it to the slide, chances are unless you have some endospores or extremethermophiles, you've pretty much killed anything alive on there.

[@bioprofaz]

Yes, as long as it is one of the non-pathogenic species.

[@abspathi]

Thanks. good work. pls keep it up

[@mhamado.abdullah6925]
