Thermo Fisher, ID0580M, Biocemical Identification System (O.B.I.S.) PYR

Quantity: 60 Tests/Kit
Unit Size: Each
Use O.B.I.S. PYR as a rapid diagnostic alternative to time-consuming culture methods.
• Simple—easy to implement
• Rapid—results in 6 minutes of testing suspect colonies
• Non-carcinogenic substratesThe O.B.I.S. - PYR test uses Test Cards impregnated with L-pyroglutamic acid 7-amino-4-methyl-coumarin (7AMC) and dimethylaminocinnamaldehyde for the detection of PYRase activity. The enzymatic hydrolysis of this substrate by enterococci, Group A streptococci and Citrobacter spp. produces a purple color following the addition of the Developing Solution^3.We have developed a new system for PYRase testing^4 using a non-carcinogenic substrate in response to health concerns associated with the use of β-naphthylamide (a potent carcinogen)^5. The PYRase area on the O.B.I.S. PYR test is impregnated with L-pyroglutamic acid 7-amino-4-methylcoumarin (7AMC)^4. Dimethylaminocinnamaldehyde is used as a color development reagent. The enzymatic hydrolysis of the substrate produces a purple color on addition of the O.B.I.S. PYR Developing Solution^4.Not all products are available for sale in all territories.
