Description

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 colour change. Acetate esterase activity is present e.g. in Campylobacter spp., and in Moraxella (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.

Packaging

100 test strips

Components

The kit contains plastic strips with an active zone saturated with 3-acetoxyindol, which is a substrate for acetate esterase.
