Biochemical Confirmatory Test Stains And Reagents

Remel™ Potassium Hydroxide 20%

Determine the ability of gram-negative bacilli to produce acetylmethylcarbinol (acetoin) from glucose fermentation using Thermo Scientific™ Remel™ 20% Potassium Hydroxide preparation. This reagent is recommended for use with MICRO-ID®.

Remel™ BactiDrop™ Voges-Proskauer A

Determine the ability of gram-negative bacilli to produce acetylmethylcarbinol (acetoin) from glucose fermentation using Thermo Scientific™ Remel™ Bactidrop™ Voges-Proskauer A Test. In 1898, Voges and Proskauer reported production of acetylmethylcarbinol from glucose fermentation by certain bacteria...

Remel™ Methyl Red Reagent

Test the ability of an organism to produce and maintain stable end products from glucose fermentation using Thermo Scientific™ Remel™ Methyl Red Reagent. In 1915, Clarke and Lubs first described the methyl red test using it to differentiate between the coli-aerogenes group of enteric bacteria1.

Remel™ BactiDrop™ Ninhydrin

Detect hydrolysis of sodium hippurate by beta-hemolytic streptococci, Gardnerella vaginalis, and Campylobacter jejuni with Thermo Scientific™ Remel™ BactiDrop™ Ninhydrin. The hippurate hydrolysis test determines the ability of group B streptococci as well as other bacteria to enzymatically hydrolyze...

Remel™ 10% Bile Solubility Reagent

Identify and differentiate Streptococcus pneumoniae from other alpha-hemolytic streptococci with Thermo Scientific™ Remel™ 10% Bile Solubility Reagent.In 1900 Neufeld used sodium desoxycholate to detect autolysis which can be used to differentiate bile-soluble S.

Remel™ 2% Bile Solubility Reagent

Thermo Scientific™ Remel 2% Bile Solubility Reagent is for differentiation of S. pneumoniae from other alpha-hemolytic streptococci using the Spot Test or Tube Test.

Remel™ Chemstrip™ LN Reagent Strip

Remel Chemstrip LN Reagent Strips are used to screen negative urine specimens.

Remel™ Chemstrip™ 9

Remel Chemstrip 9 are test strips used for urine testing, including leukocytes, nitrite, pH, protein, glucose, ketone, urobilinogen, bilirubin and blood.

D'Antoni's Iodine

Detect protozoan cysts and helminth eggs and larvae in wet mount preparations using Thermo Scientific™ Remel™ D'Antoni's Iodine stain. This is a nonspecific, contrast dye, added to fresh, unpreserved fecal specimens to aid in detection of helminth eggs and larvae and in differentiating protozoan...

Remel™ Ferric Chloride

Detect phenylalanine deamination with Thermo Scientific™ Remel™ Ferric Chloride.Henriksen and Closs reported Proteus could be differentiated from other enteric gram-negative bacilli based on the ability to deaminate phenylalanine into phenylpyruvic acid1-3.

Remel™ Anaerobic Nitrate Reagent B

Thermo Scientific™ Remel Anaerobic Nitrate Reagent B is for determination of nitrate reduction in anaerobic bacteria.

Remel™ Brom Thymol Blue pH Indicator

Thermo Scientific™ Remel Brom Thymol Blue is a pH indicator for use with microbiological culture media and for confirmation of negative reactions in C-H-O Carbohydrates.

Remel™ Brom Cresol Purple Aqueous pH Indicator

Thermo Scientific™ Remel Brom Cresol Purple Aqueous is a pH indicator for use with microbiological culture media.

Remel™ Anaerobic Nitrate Reagent A

Detect indole production and nitrate reduction in anaerobic bacteria using Thermo Scientific™ Remel™ Anaerobic Nitrate Reagent A. In 1977, Wideman et al. utilized a Nitrate Disk to determine nitrate reductase production and found 89% test agreement with the more conventional Indole Nitrate Medium1.

Remel™ Polysorbate 80, 10%

Differentiate and identify Mycobacterium spp. with the catalase test using Thermo Scientific™ Remel™ Polysorbate 80, 10% reagent. Most strains of mycobacteria produce catalase1. The catalase test is a semiqualitative test which was developed to help in differentiation of organisms included in...
