    Determination of optimal Percoll density gradient for H37Rv separation from dust. ( A , D) Photographs of discontinuous ( A ) 5-layer and ( D ) 3-layer Percoll density gradients. Methylene blue was added to select layers during gradient preparation for visual clarity. The distinct interphases after centrifugation are formed by intrinsic density differences. Pure H37Rv (acid-fast stained, red bacilli) and unprocessed dust particles were layered. The pink background in the MTB sample tubes originates from the suspension medium of the stained bacilli; the actual localization of MTB is indicated by the turbid, cloudy bands at the density interfaces. ( B , E ) Quantitative comparison of H37Rv DNA recovery efficiency across gradient fractions, as determined by qPCR. Data are presented as mean ± SD ( n = 3). Statistical significance was analyzed by one-way ANOVA for multi-group comparisons and unpaired t-test for pairwise comparisons (*** p < 0.001, **** p < 0.0001). ( C ) Representative microscopic fields (1000× magnification) of acid-fast stained bacilli recovered from each layer of the 5-layer gradient (scale bar: 100 μm)
