Description

Description générale

Kovac′s Reagent Strips are sterile filter paper strips impregnated with Kovac′s reagent used to detect indole-producing bacteria, primarily Enterobacteriaceae, to split indole from the tryptophan molecule. The various enzymes involved in the degradation of tryptophan to indole are collectively called tryptophanase, a general term used to denote the complete system of enzymes. The presence of indole is detected by Kovac′s reagent strip, which turns pink in the presence of indole.

Application

Kovac′s Reagent Strips are used to detect indole-producing bacteria, primarily Enterobacteriaceae species. They find their application in various sectors such as the food and dairy industry, water industry, pharmaceutical laboratory testing, cosmetic industry, environmental and sanitary testing, clinical diagnostic, etc.
