The VP Reagent A solution is a key component of the Voges-Proskauer test, a microbiological test used to identify acetoin production through bacterial fermentation. This solution typically consists of an aqueous solution with α-naphthol or 1-naphthol as the primary active ingredient, with a concentration of approximately 5-6%. The solution is characterized by its reddish-pink to purple color, and it plays a critical role in the detection process of acetoin production in bacteria.

TriStains provides a marketplace for histology and biological stains, which is comprehensive enough to encompass the peculiar requirements of laboratories specializing in Histology, Cytology, Microbiology, and Hematology. With a reputation for exceeding quality expectations, TriStains performance is outstanding which allows for resolution of cell and tissue components fundamental to life sciences to be clearly visualized. Each product under TriStains series is validated for accuracy, reliability and consistency. TriStains, which manufactures and markets stains and indicators in various packing, offers laboratories turn key solutions for all their staining and indicator needs, improving accuracy in every experiment.

Application :

  • When combined with the VP Reagent B solution and a positive test sample, the VP Reagent A solution helps to produce a characteristic color change, indicating a positive Voges-Proskauer test result.
  • The test is commonly used in the identification and differentiation of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, particularly in the Enterobacteriaceae family. It is used to identify organisms that produce acetoin during glucose fermentation.

Benefits :

  • The VP Reagent A solution, together with the VP Reagent B solution, enables the reliable detection of acetoin production, which is an important characteristic for the identification of certain bacterial species
  • Gives rapid results and also cost-effective
  • Provides valuable information for the accurate identification and classification of bacterial isolates in microbiological laboratories and research settings
