Jaswant Singh–Bhattacharji (JSB) stain

From HandWiki

Jaswant–Singh–Bhattacharji stain, commonly referred to as JSB stain, is a rapid staining method for detection of malaria.[1][2] It is useful in definitive diagnosis depends on the demonstration of malaria from thick smear samples of blood.[3] The JSB stain is commonly used throughout India ; however it is rarely used outside of India.[4]

Composition

The JSB stain consists of two solutions which are used in sequence to stain various parts of the sample. The first solution consists of methylene blue, potassium dichromate, and sulfuric acid diluted in water. This solution is heated for several hours to oxidize the methylene blue. The second solution is eosin dissolved in water.[5]
