General description

Oxidase Strips are a rapid diagnostic test for the detection of the cytochrome oxidase activity of microorganisms. Oxidase Test is an important differential procedure which is performed on all gram-negative bacteria that are to be identified. In presence of the enzyme cytochrome oxidase (produced by gram-negative bacteria) the N,N-dimethyl-phenylenediamine, and alpha-naphthol impregnated on the strips react to indophenol blue which is visible by a color change.

Application

Oxidase Strips are used for detection of oxidase production by microorganisms like Neisseria, Alcaligenes, Aeromonas, Vibrio′s, Campylobacter and Pseudomonas.

Packaging

package of 100 test strips

Components

The kit contains plastic strips with a paper zone saturated with a solution of N,N-dimethyl-1,4-phenylene diamine and alpha-naphtol
