Basic Description

Specifications & Purity	suitable for microbiology
Biochemical and Physiological Mechanisms	Kovac′s reagent detects the indole and aids in identifying the indole-positive and indole-negative microorganisms. E. coli can split tryptophan into indole and α-aminopropionic acid in the presence of the enzyme tryptophanase. p-Aminobenzaldehyde present
Storage Temp	Store at 2-8°C
Shipped In	Wet ice This product requires cold chain shipping. Ground and other economy services are not available.
Grade	suitable for microbiology
Product Description	Kovac′s reagent for indoles is a solution of 4-(dimethylamino)benzaldehyde and hydrochloric acid in n-butanol. Application: Kovac′s reagent for indoles has been used for enumerating E. coli O157:H7 in ground beef samples in different scenarios of stored, thawed, and as cooked patty samples. It has also been used for E coli enumeration in dewatered blackwater.
