Official basis (Method): Annex VI explicitly lists cystine reagent among staining mounting media. Its inclusion supports the named microscopy workflow; it does not by itself identify the source species.
Procurement note: This reagent detects a chemical feature; it does not identify source species by itself. Confirm the exact authorised formulation and lead-waste arrangements.
