BD 221719 - Urease Test Broth 3 mL Differential Medium for Urease Activity Detection
The BD 221719 Urease Test Broth 3 mL is a ready-to-use differential medium designed for the detection of urease enzyme activity in microorganisms. This broth contains urea as the substrate and a pH indicator that changes color when ammonia is produced through urea hydrolysis.
Organisms capable of producing urease break down urea into ammonia and carbon dioxide, resulting in an alkaline shift that produces a visible color change. This reaction provides a rapid and reliable method for differentiating urease-positive organisms from urease-negative ones in clinical and research settings.
