GRAM TEST, aminopeptidase, stick [Liofilchem-88031]

CAUTIOUS

This test is worded and codified by unit to make the order easier, but it is always packaged in kit of 30 sticks.

Definition

Test for distinguishing Gram-negative bacteria from Gram-positive

Specifications

  • The reagent l-alanine-4-nitroanilide is hydrolysed by the enzyme amino-peptidase contained in the cell of Gram-negative bacterial micro-organisms
  • The sticks are impregnated with the reagent L-alanine-4-nitroanilide which, on contact with colonies of Gram-negative bacterial colonies, reacts by changing colour to blue-violet following addition of the detector reagent (Gram Test Reagent).
