QBC F.A.S.T. Products: Features and Benefits
QBC Fluorescence and Staining Technologies (F.A.S.T.) TB products are unique systems of reagents, supplies, and instruments that allow users to more easily and effectively utilize the time-proved benefits of fluorescence microscopy in tuberculosis detection. F.A.S.T. kits include specially developed technologies that provide significant advantages over conventional TB Staining methods. The F.A.S.T. Auramine Stain Kit has been designed to simplify the TB specimen staining process, providing brightly fluorescing acid fast bacilli in less than 3 minutes. The patent pending SureFocus™ Microscope Slides included in each kit are designed with fluorescent markers that can help provide users with confidence in the acuracy of results as well as a guide for determining the number of fields viewed.
Proven Performance
Auramine O based staining of smears for TB detection has been used for decades and is a mainstay for TB fluorescence microscopy. When stained with Auramine O, the acid fast bacteria (AFB), which cause TB to fluoresce brightly against a dark background, allows microscopists to easily identify them using lower magnification and with less eye strain than bright field methods, such as Ziehl-Neelsen staining. The F.A.S.T. Auramine O staining method further improves this technology with reagents that produce results comparable to conventional methods in significantly less time.
SureFocus slides offer assurance to those just learning fluorescence microscopy, and also the most experienced of microscopists, by providing a definitive focal starting point, focal references throughout the examination area, and potentially minimizing the reporting of false negative results. Moreover, the fluorescent markers provide milestones that examiners can use to ensure that the correct number of fields-of-view are read and also will provide a means to ensure overall system quality with built-in positive fluorescence signal.
Altogether, the benefits of the F.A.S.T. Auramine O Stain Kit and the SureFocus Slides provide a significant advantage over bright field and conventional fluorescence microscopy methods.
