Description

Voges-Proskauer B, 40% Reagent KOH, Buy Histological Stains solutions for Histology, Cytology, Microbiology, Hematology Biology Lab from TriStains.

Voges-Proskauer B, 40% Reagent KOH is a necessary microbiology laboratory reagent required with Reagent A, Voges-Proskauer, to identify acetoin production accurately in bacterial cultures. This is a 40% w/v aqueous potassium hydroxide (KOH) solution, which is clear and colorless and particularly designed to be used in reliable biochemical testing. The 40% KOH solution is essential in the Voges-Proskauer (VP) test because it forms the alkaline environment needed in the oxidation of acetoin to allow specific microbial differentiation. In the case of the laboratories in histological staining, cytological studies, microbiological diagnostics, and hematology research, this reagent is one of the basic elements of standard and sophisticated testing processes.

Applications

  • Combined with Voges-Proskauer Reagent A in carrying out the VP test to detect acetoin.
  • Very commonly used in microbiology, histology, cytology, hematology and biology laboratories.
  • Critical in distinguishing bacterial species in the Enterobacteriaceae family.
  • Also commonly used in academic research laboratories, diagnostic laboratories, and schools.

Key features

  • Produces a highly alkaline environment that is appropriate to oxidize acetoin and detect it.
  • Gives quick, clear, and sure reactions of red or pink color.
  • Perfect for conducting regular diagnostic tests in standard microbiological procedures.
  • Pure on a high level of reagent grade, assuring reproducible and reliable results.

General Description

Voges-Proskauer B, 40% KOH Reagent (CAS: 1310-58-3 Molecular Formula: KOH Molecular Weight: 56.106 g/mol) is a high-quality biochemical reagent that was designed exclusively to detect acetoin in bacterial cultures. Being an essential microbiology reagent, it helps to conduct Voges-Proskauer tests correctly to diagnose the clinical setting and in research to confirm the results of the test. This 40% potassium hydroxide solution has a CAS number of 1310-58-3 and a molecular weight of 56.106, which is in line with the laboratory reagent requirements in biochemical and bacterial identification tests. It works well with Voges-Proskauer Reagent A, creating the full VP testing system. The acetone is denoted by the appearance of a clear red color or pink color after the Reagent A reacts with the 40 percent KOH solution. This color change is essential to microbiological diagnostics to be able to derive rapid, cost-effective, and accurate differentiation of bacteria.
