Kinyoun is a staining method that has an important place in the diagnosis of tuberculosis. It is used in the staining of smears prepared to detect the presence of mycobacteria in clinical samples or culture media. Carbol Fuchsin in Kinyoun dye is a red colored dye containing Phenol. Since the Carbol Fuchsin and phenol concentrations in the Kinyoun dye are higher than in the EZN dye, there is no need for heating after the Kinyoun Carbol fuchsin is placed on the smear, as in EZN dye, to ensure that the dye is fully infiltrated between the mycolic acids. This is an important feature for the prevention of laboratory accidents. As a result, mycobacteria are stained Red and other microorganisms and cells are stained Blue with Kinyoun stain. For this reason, the result for the sample with red-stained bacilli is also given as "ARB+". An example is “ARB – “ .In order to be able to tell, at least 300 objective areas should be scanned and ARB should not be seen.
