actophenol cotton blue (LPCB) is a staining solution used in microscopy to visualize fungi. It acts as both a stain and a mounting medium, with phenol acting as a disinfectant, lactic acid preserving the fungal structures, and cotton blue staining the fungal cell walls a blue color. This allows for the easy identification of fungal elements like spores and hyphae. Components and their functions
Phenol: Acts as a disinfectant, killing any living organisms in the sample.
Lactic acid: Preserves the structures of the fungi, preventing them from being distorted.
Cotton blue (Aniline blue): Stains the chitin in the fungal cell wall and other structures, giving them a blue color.
Glycerol: Prevents the sample from drying out under the microscope.
How it is used
A sample containing fungal material is placed on a glass slide.
A drop of lactophenol cotton blue stain is added to the sample.
A coverslip is placed over the slide.
The slide is then examined under a microscope, where the fungal structures will appear blue against a paler background.

Magnesium metal powder (99% extra pure) is a silvery-white, highly reactive, and flammable fine powder with a purity of at least 99% magnesium. It is insoluble in water and possesses a high energy potential. This reagent-grade material is used in laboratories and industries for chemical synthesis, pyrotechnics, and creating lightweight alloys, requiring significant safety precautions due to its hazardous nature. Key Characteristics
Purity: A minimum of 99% pure magnesium metal.
Appearance: A distinctive silvery-white color.
Reactivity: Highly reactive and can ignite spontaneously upon contact with air.
Flammability: It is a highly flammable material.
Particle Size: Supplied as a fine powder.
CAS Number: 7439-95-4.
Hazard Information
GHS02: Indicates a flammable hazard.
Signal Word: Danger.
UN Number: 1869.
Hazard Statements: H250 (Catches fire spontaneously if exposed to air) and H260 (In contact with water releases flammable gases).
Packaging: Typically packed in a poly bottle for stability and safety.
Common Uses
Chemical Synthesis: Used as a reagent in various chemical reactions.
Pyrotechnics: Ideal for use in fireworks and other pyrotechnic applications.
Alloys: Essential for producing super-strong, lightweight alloys.
Laboratories and Industry: High-purity material suitable for research and industrial uses requiring consistent results.
Safety Precautions
Handling: Avoid contact with air and water, as it can cause spontaneous ignition.
Storage: Keep in a dry, controlled environment, potentially in a nitrogen-filled atmosphere, to prevent oxidation.
Firefighting: Extinguish fires involving magnesium powder with appropriate dry powder or sand, NOT water.
