Frequent Uses

Staining
The cotton blue (or aniline blue) dye stains the chitin and cellulose in the fungal cell walls, making them easier to see.

Wet Mounts
Used to prepare wet mounts, which are microscopic preparations where the sample is suspended in a liquid medium, often for immediate observation.

Fungal Identification
Lactophenol cotton blue is a standard method for identifying fungi in clinical specimens.

Parasite Identification
Can also be used to stain and preserve parasitic elements like trophozoites, cysts, and ova in fecal samples, which is useful for diagnosing parasitic infections.
