What's the Best way to Lower AFB Stain Test level?

There are a few different ways that you can lower your AFB stain test level. The first way is to increase the amount of time that the sample is incubated. This will help to break down the AFB and lower the overall level of the stain. Another way to lower your AFB stain test level is to use a decolorizer. This will help to remove some of the colors from the sample, which will in turn reduce the level of the stain. Finally, you can also dilute the sample with water, which will help to reduce the intensity of the stain.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's) about AFB Stain
