RapID™ Spot Indole Reagent

RapID™ Spot Indole Reagent is a ready-to-use diagnostic reagent formulated for the rapid detection of indole production by microorganisms. Used as part of bacterial identification workflows, it provides a quick and reliable method to determine the presence of the enzyme tryptophanase, which converts tryptophan to indole. When applied to an appropriate test area or culture, a positive reaction is indicated by the immediate development of a blue to blue-green color. This reagent is designed for use with RapID™ identification systems and other compatible microbiological tests.

Key Features:

• Rapid results — delivers clear indole test reactions within seconds.
• Ready-to-use formulation — eliminates the need for reagent preparation.
• Accurate and reliable — consistent performance for routine microbiological testing.
• Compatible with RapID™ panels — designed to complement the RapID™ microbial identification systems.
• Applications: differentiation and identification of indole-positive microorganisms such as Escherichia coli.

Format: Dropper bottle for convenient dispensing
Storage: Store at recommended temperature to maintain reagent stability
