Pandy's reaction

Abstract

As is known, the reaction proposed in 1910 by Pandy has long been widely used in neuropathology, the technique of which is very simple: 1 cubic meter is poured into a narrow glass test tube (7 cm long and 1 cm in diameter). sant. saturated solution of carbolic acid (1 hour carbol, crystall. for 15 hours of distillation of water), and a drop of the studied cerebrospinal fluid is introduced into it with a pipette, and the appearance of a blue white cloud throughout the contact of the drop with the reagent indicates a positive result reactions.
