Cat. Nº. SIZE DESCRIPTION
231735 50 discs BD Taxo - TB Niacin Test Control
BD Taxo TB Niacin Test Controls are impregnated with nicotinamide and
give a positive reaction when tested with a TB Niacin Test Strip. For use with
BD Taxo TB Niacin Test Strips (Cat. No. 231741). Contains 50 discs per
hand-dispensing cartridge, sufficient for 50 tests.
231736 50 discs BD Taxo - INH Test Control
The BD Taxo INH Test Control is an impregnated disc that will yield a
positive result in the test procedure. For use with Cat. No. 231743. White,
¼” paper disks with “I” over “C”, sufficient for 50 tests.
231741 25 strips BD Taxo - TB Niacin Test Strips
BD Taxo TB Niacin Test Strips assist in the detection of mycobacteria by
detecting niacin in culture medium. All mycobacteria produce nicotinic acid,
or niacin, which accumulates in culture medium and can be detected using
these strips. When BD Taxo TB Niacin Test Strips turn yellow, the culture is
mycobacteria positive and when no colour appears, the culture is negative.
Contains 1 vial with 25 strips, sufficient for 25 tests.
231742 25 strips BD Taxo - Nitrite Test Strips
BD Taxo Nitrite Test Strips are used for differentiation of microorganisms
(particularly mycobacteria) based on the reduction of nitrates to nitrites.
The nitrate reduction test separates slow growing mycobacteria that are
nitrate-positive (e.g., M. tuberculosis, M. kansasii and M. fortuitum) from
rapid growers that are negative or only weakly positive (e.g., M. bovis, M.
avium complex and M. intracellulare). The presence of the enzyme nitrate
reductase is detected by appearance of a blue-coloured end product on the
strip, indicating a positive reaction. Sufficient for 25 tests.
231743 25 strips BD Taxo - INH Test Strips
BD Taxo INH Test Strips are used for the detection of izoniazid (INH)
and its metabolites in urine. When INH or its metabolites are present in
a urine sample, contact with the BD Taxo INH strip will change the strip
colour to green, blue or purple. This strip is a modification of Kilburn and
Kubica´s procedure for detecting niacin produced by M. tuberculosis. White
paper strips encased in a plastic tube. Arrows are imprinted on both sides.
Sufficient for 25 tests; storage should be at 2-8° C.
