Synonyms: Acetoxyindol Strips
Storage: 2-8C
UNSPSC Code: 12352200
Application: Diagnostic test for the rapid detection of the acetate esterase activity of microorganisms. The test is based on the reaction of free indoxyl groups with oxygen, which results in a color change. Acetate esterase activity is present in Campylobacter spp. and Branhamella catarrhalis. The test is suitable for screening examinations and for the suspect microbial colonies identification. The result of the reaction is read after 3-5 min.
Components: The kit contains plastic strips with an active zone saturated with 3-acetoxyindol, which is a substrate for acetate esterase.
