Kovacs reagent

2950.1, Carl Roth

<p>Developed to align with modern chemical standards, Kovacs reagent serves as an essential tool for identifying microorganisms through the detection of microbial indole. This life science product, specifically designed for microbiology applications, facilitates the identification of Trypanosome-positive microorganisms such as Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus faecalis, and Proteus species. It operates by reacting with released indole, resulting in a dark red dye formation when added to 24-48 hour old cultures. The density of this solution is 0.92 g/cm³, and it should be stored at +4°C. For optimal results, it&#x27;s recommended to use Kovacs reagent in a glucose-free broth with high concentrations of tryptophane present.</p> <ul> <li><strong>Category:</strong> Kovacs reagent</li> <li><strong>Boiling point (bp):</strong> 108 °C</li> <li><strong>Storage temp.:</strong> +4 °C</li> <li><strong>Flash point (flp):</strong> 36 °C</li> <li><strong>Density (D):</strong> 0,92 g/cm³</li> </ul>
