Entero Pluri Test - 25 Pcs.
Staffelpreise verfügbar – bitte anfragen!
Test for the identification of Gram-negative, oxidase-negative bacteria.
The EnteroPluri-Test is a multi-chamber test strip with 12 test chambers containing selective culture media. These culture media enable the identification of Enterobacteriaceae as well as other Gram-negative and oxidase-negative bacteria.
The system allows for simultaneous inoculation of all media within the system and the reading of 15 biochemical reactions. The color change is evaluated after 18-24 hours of incubation at 36 ± 1 °C using a code obtained from the interpretation of the biochemical reactions (reading the color change).

Additional evaluations (require additional reagents):
Voges-Proskauer Test for identification and further differentiation of Enterobacterales subspecies.
This test examines bacterial cultures for the formation of acetoin (acetylmethylcarbinol), which causes a red coloration in an alkaline environment through reaction with alpha-naphthol. Examples of acetoin producers (positive VP test): Enterobacter, Klebsiella oxytoca, Proteus myxofaciens, Rhanella aquatilis, Serratia marcescens, and Serratia rubidaea (each during the fermentation of GLU to BUT).
Please order separately: VP Test Reagent
Nitrate reductase exclusion by zinc (zinc dust): Almost all Enterobacterales can reduce nitrate to nitrite; some further reduce it to N2 or NH3. In this test, any remaining nitrate (in the absence or lack of nitrate reductase activity) is reduced to nitrite by Zn2+, which causes a color change to red in the test field.
ATTENTION:
- When performing the VP test, use the front side of the evaluation block; otherwise, use the back side
- Please ensure you use the correct code table (see Download section).
