Laboratory Reagents and Test Kits in Uganda
Labtech Medical Supplies Uganda supports hospitals, clinics, diagnostic laboratories, research facilities, universities, healthcare programmes and procurement teams seeking laboratory reagents, stains, controls, antisera, test kits, analytical chemicals and related laboratory supplies in Kampala and across Uganda. This page reorganises the supplied reagent list into practical categories so buyers can identify the exact reagent, concentration, volume, kit format and quantity required before requesting a quotation.
Order Reagents by Exact Test, Concentration, Volume and Intended Laboratory Use
Laboratory reagents can look similar by name while differing materially in concentration, formulation, volume, intended method or analytical grade. That means accurate procurement depends on more than simply listing a chemical or stain. Buyers should identify the exact reagent, pack size, concentration, test method or kit type wherever those details are known.
The supplied Labtech list includes blood-grouping reagents, antisera, febrile antigens and controls, stains used in microscopy, chemistry reagents, latex test kits, hemoglobin reagents, solvents, cleaning products, analyzer-related fluids and other laboratory chemicals. The redesigned page retains those categories while presenting them in a clearer structure for quotation and institutional purchasing.
Where the original list includes names such as ABO Set, Antisera A, B, AB and D, Gram PVP Kit, TB Ziehl-Neelsen Kit, HCG Latex Kit, RF Latex Kit and Toxoplasma Latex Kit, this page treats them as catalogue references for enquiry. It does not assume current stock, regulatory status, shelf life, manufacturer, analytical performance or compatibility with a specific laboratory platform unless confirmed for the exact item being quoted.
Reagent Names Alone Are Often Not Enough for a Reliable Quotation
A laboratory can use several reagents with similar names but different concentrations or intended applications. Methanol, for example, appears in the supplied list in more than one grade and pack size. Sodium hypochlorite appears in more than one volume. Field Stain A and Field Stain B appear in both liquid and powder formats. These distinctions matter when preparing an order.
Institutional buyers should therefore reproduce their approved specification exactly. If the requisition calls for 99.5% methanol analytical grade in a 1 litre pack, that should not be shortened to “methanol.” If a blood-grouping reagent is required in a 10 ml pack, include that detail. If the request relates to a test kit, state the exact kit name and any known pack format.
The CTAs on this page are designed to keep that process simple. WhatsApp is useful for a short item-specific enquiry, while email is better for formal quotations, longer reagent schedules or requests involving multiple laboratories or departments.
Laboratory Reagents and Test Products Available for Enquiry
The categories below organise the supplied source list into practical procurement groups. Exact availability, manufacturer, batch details, expiry, storage requirements and price should be confirmed for the specific item.
ABO, Rh & Antiglobulin Reagents
The supplied list includes an ABO Set, Anti-Human Globulin 10 ml, Antisera A 10 ml, Antisera B 10 ml, Antisera AB 10 ml, Antisera D 10 ml, Bovine Albumin 10 ml and Rh-D negative control 10 ml. Buyers should state the exact reagent and pack size required.
Field, Gram, Ziehl-Neelsen & Other Stains
The source lists Field Stain A and B in liquid and powder forms, carbol fuchsin, crystal violet, Gram PVP kit, Gram’s iodine, methylene blue, Lugol’s iodine solution and a TB Ziehl-Neelsen kit. Buyers should specify the stain, format, concentration and volume where stated.
HCG, RF, RPR & Toxoplasma Test Reagents
The supplied catalogue includes HCG Latex Kit, RF or Rheumatoid Factor Latex Kit, RPR Carbon and Toxoplasma Latex Kit. As with any test reagent, the exact kit format, intended method and quantity should be confirmed before purchase.
Brucella, Salmonella & Control Reagents
The list includes Brucella abortus 5 ml, Brucella melitensis 5 ml, Salmonella Typhoid H 5 ml, Salmonella Typhoid O 5 ml, Febrile Antigen Negative Control and Febrile Antigen Positive Control. State the exact antigen or control required.
Hemoglobin Reagents, Diluent, Lyse & Cleaner
The source includes hemoglobin reagent 4×5 ml, hemoglobin standard 10 ml, cyanide-free diluent 20 L, lyse 500 ml, probe cleaner 100 ml and Drabkin’s reagent. Analyzer-related products should be ordered with the relevant instrument or method context where applicable.
Acids, Alcohols, Solvents & Cleaning Chemicals
The supplied list includes acetone 2.5 L, acid alcohol 3%, ethanol 99.7% 2.5 L, methanol 99.5% 2.5 L, methanol analytical grade 1 L, hydrochloric acid 36–38% 2.5 L, detergent 5 L and sodium hypochlorite in 5 L and 750 ml packs.
Antisera and Control Reagents Should Be Requested by Exact Type and Pack Size
The source includes several blood-grouping reagents that can be confused if the enquiry is too general. Antisera A, B, AB and D are separate products, while Anti-Human Globulin, Bovine Albumin and Rh-D negative control have different roles in laboratory procedures. The catalogue also lists an ABO Set as a broader grouped item.
When requesting these reagents, state whether the requirement is for an individual antisera bottle, control reagent or complete set. Include the pack size where it is specified in the procurement schedule. For institutions purchasing for several blood-bank or laboratory locations, separate quantities by site if that helps internal distribution.
The same principle applies to serology and latex products. HCG, Rheumatoid Factor, Toxoplasma and RPR reagents serve different testing workflows. The redesigned page does not infer test sensitivity, specificity, shelf life or kit contents because those details depend on the exact product and manufacturer documentation.
Six Details That Improve a Reagent Quotation
Name the Exact Reagent
Use the specific reagent, stain, control, kit or chemical name rather than a broad category.
State Concentration or Grade
Include percentage concentration, analytical grade or other formulation information where it appears in the approved specification.
Give the Pack Size
State millilitres, litres, grams, kit size or another pack reference exactly as required.
Identify the Method or Instrument
For analyzer-related reagents and fluids, identify the relevant instrument or laboratory method where compatibility matters.
State the Quantity
Provide the number of bottles, kits, packs or units required, separating different variants into distinct lines.
Request Product Confirmation
Ask for exact specification, current availability, price and applicable storage, delivery or documentation information.
Different Staining Methods Require Different Reagent Combinations
The supplied list contains multiple stains used in laboratory workflows, including Field Stain A, Field Stain B, carbol fuchsin, crystal violet, Gram’s iodine, methylene blue, Lugol’s iodine and a TB Ziehl-Neelsen kit. Some are listed in more than one format, such as Field Stain A and B appearing both as 1 litre liquid preparations and as 25 gram powder.
A buyer should therefore specify whether a liquid or powder preparation is required and state the pack size. Where a complete staining kit is needed, identify the kit rather than requesting one component in isolation. Where the laboratory already has a validated staining method, follow that approved specification when preparing the enquiry.
For microscopy and staining products, this page does not substitute one reagent for another or assume that products with similar names can be used interchangeably. Compatibility with the laboratory method should be confirmed by the buyer and the product documentation.

Structure Long Reagent Schedules by Item, Grade, Volume and Quantity
Hospitals, diagnostic laboratories, universities, NGOs and healthcare programmes often purchase multiple reagents at once. A structured schedule makes the quotation easier to review and reduces the risk of receiving an incorrect pack size or formulation.
Use separate lines for products that differ by concentration, grade or volume. For example, methanol 99.5% in a 2.5 litre pack should be listed separately from methanol analytical grade in a 1 litre pack. Field Stain A powder should be separated from Field Stain A liquid. Sodium hypochlorite in 5 litres should be separated from the 750 ml pack.
Where a named product or brand appears in the internal requisition, state whether it is mandatory or whether an equivalent specification may be considered. This page does not assume equivalence between reagent brands or formulations.
Concentration, Grade and Pack Size Matter for Laboratory Chemicals
The supplied list includes several laboratory chemicals and solvents whose concentration and grade are part of the product identity. Examples include ethanol 99.7% in a 2.5 litre pack, methanol 99.5% in a 2.5 litre pack, methanol analytical grade in a 1 litre pack, hydrochloric acid 36–38% in a 2.5 litre pack and acid alcohol 3%.
These descriptors should be carried into the quotation request exactly. Procurement staff should not remove the concentration or grade merely to shorten the item description. Where the internal laboratory has specific handling, storage or safety procedures, those should guide purchasing and use after the correct product is identified.
The source also lists detergent in a 5 litre pack and sodium hypochlorite in 5 litre and 750 ml packs. The redesigned page retains these references but does not infer a specific cleaning protocol, dilution rate or laboratory application.
