Additional Information for Indole Test Reagent
Indole Test Reagent is a type of reagent used in microbiology laboratories for the detection of indole production by bacteria. Indole is a compound produced by certain bacteria as a byproduct of tryptophan metabolism. The Indole Test is commonly used to differentiate between different species of bacteria, particularly in the identification of members of the Enterobacteriaceae family.
The Indole Test Reagent is typically a solution containing a chemical compound called Kovac's reagent. This reagent reacts with indole to produce a red color, indicating a positive result for indole production. The test is performed by inoculating a bacterial culture into a tube containing the Indole Test Reagent and incubating it for a specific period of time. After incubation, the presence or absence of a red color is observed, indicating whether the bacteria produce indole or not.
Indole Test Reagent is classified as an In Vitro Diagnostic Substance, which means it is used for diagnostic purposes in a laboratory setting. It falls under the supply class of In Vitro Diagnostic Substances, Reagents, Test Kits And Sets, which includes various substances and kits used for diagnostic testing. This supply class is part of the larger supply group of Medical, Dental, And Veterinary Equipment And Supplies, which encompasses a wide range of equipment and supplies used in medical, dental, and veterinary settings.
Overall, Indole Test Reagent is an important tool in microbiology laboratories for the identification and differentiation of bacteria based on their ability to produce indole.
