Indoxyl Acetate Disk

Rapidly identify and differentiate Campylobacter, Wolinella, and Helicobacter based on their ability to hydrolyze indoxyl acetate using Thermo Scientific™ Remel™ Indoxyl Acetate Disk. Hodge et al. confirming the findings of Mills et al first found in 1987, reported that Indoxyl Acetate Disk was reliable for differentiation of Campylobacter spp^1,2. In 1990, further investigation of the disk by Popovic-Uroic et al. reported the method to be more reliable than nalidixic acid susceptibility for differentiation of Campylobacter spp. and useful in differentiating Wolinella and Helicobacter³.

Rapidly identify and differentiate Campylobacter, Wolinella, and Helicobacter based on their ability to hydrolyze indoxyl acetate using Indoxyl Acetate Disk.

• Ready to use: Reagent-impregnated disk.
• Rapid test: Results are obtained within 20 minutes.
• Easy to identify: A positive result showcases development of blue or blue-green color.

Bacterial esterase releases indoxyl from indoxyl acetate which reacts spontaneously to produce indigo in the presence of oxygen. A total of 981 strains of Campylobacter, Wolinella and Helicobacter were evaluated in separate studies published by Hodge et al and Popovic-Uroic et al^2,3.
