Microbact Indole Kovacs (10ml) – Product Description

Product Description

(Indole) (10ML) Kovacs (Indole test for *E. coli*) Microbact Indole Kovacs (10ml) is a reagent in the indole test (necessary for the identification of enterobacteria, especially for the presence of *Escherichia coli* and other indole-producing organisms). The indole is a catabolic product of the amino acid tryptophan in the presence of the amino acid tryptophan in the culture medium. Therefore, in the reagent, it reacts with it, changing the solution from a colourless one to a red one. The various possibilities of exploiting bacterial detection, which also enables the rapid identification of the gram-negative nature of bacteria in the site-reporting device, are widely applied in the microbiological field to glycocollected samples from clinical, food, and environmental sources.

The indole Kovacs reagent is essential for laboratory diagnostic testing, food safety examination, and environmental surveillance. It’s used to aid in the identification of bacteria and is critically important in illuminating the family *Enterobacteriaceae*, of which *Salmonella*, *Shigella*, and *Proteus* species are clinically pertinent members.

Key Features

• **Quick and Easy**: The reagent enables the detection of indole production in a relatively short timeframe (minutes).
  • **Easy Colour Change Test**: The reaction of the Indole Kovacs reagent with indole results in a distinctive red colour, making interpretation easy.
  • **Wide Application**: This product can be applied to a variety of microbiology experiments, including clinical diagnosis, food safety testing, and environmental monitoring.
  • **High Sensitivity**: High sensitivity to indole-producing bacteria, making it convenient for accurate pathogen identification.

Specifications

• **Product**: Microbact Indole Kovacs (10ml)
  • **Amount**: 10ml
  • **Storage**: Store in a superb, dry location, away from direct light and moisture.
  • **Application**: For use in detecting indole production in bacteria, especially from clinical, food, and environmental sources.

Applications

• **Medical Microbiology**: Used to screen for indole-positive organisms in clinical specimens, including stools, urine, blood, and wound swabs. The indole test is a key method in distinguishing between *Escherichia coli* and other *Enterobacteriaceae*.
  • **Food Safety Testing**: Used in food microbiology to detect *E. coli* and other enteric pathogens in foods such as dairy, meat, and ready-to-eat foods.
  • **Environmental Monitoring**: Application for the detection of microbial contamination in environmental samples, including water, soil, and surfaces across multiple industries, to ensure sanitation and hygiene.
