The stain, however, may cause respiratory tract infection if inhaled. This is also detrimental when absorbed by the skin because it causes skin irritation. The dye-producing plants' roots, fruits, and leaves may theoretically generate a stain for biological specimens. The study aims to determine if the different concentrations of Clitoria ternatea flower and Basella alba berry dye extract mixture can stain human peripheral blood smears, if the alternative stain has the same or different staining score results with Wight's stain, and to determine if the discussed related literature agrees with the results of the experiment ER -
