Remel™ BactiDrop™ Oxidase
Catalog number: R21540
Detect cytochrome oxidase enzyme with Thermo Scientific™ Remel™ BactiDrop™ Oxidase. The oxidase test was originally devised to identify Neisseria species, but later was used to separate the Pseudomonadaceae from the oxidase-negative Enterobacteriaceae1,2. Most gram-positive bacteria are oxidase-negative and many of the gram-negative bacilli, other than the Enterobacteriaceae, are variable3. This formulation is based on the oxidase reagent formula of Kovacs1.
