50 Oxidase Test Strips to determine if an organism contains the cytochrome oxidase enzyme.

Oxidase is an enzyme produced by some bacteria for electron transport and nitrate metabolism.

Detection of the oxidase enzyme in freshly grown cultures is useful in the identification of some microbial species.

The oxidase test involves smearing a portion of a freshly cultured colony onto a moistened test strip and observing the development of a blue/black colour within 30 seconds for a positive reaction.
