Description

  • Voges-Proskauer Reagent Droppers are intended for use in the Voges-Proskauer test, one of several qualitative tests used to distinguish between members of the Enterobacteriaceae.

  • Usage Features:


  • The Voges-Proskauer test is one of the series known as the IMViC tests.

  • The letters stand for Indole, Methyl Red, Voges-Proskauer, and Citrate.

  • (The "i" is inserted for euphony.) They are used primarily to distinguish between the coliforms, but may be used for other organisms in the Enterobacteriaceae family.

  • Specifically, the Voges-Proskauer test detects the presence of acetylmethylcarbinol.

  • This compound is produced by certain microorganisms during growth in a buffered peptone-glucose broth, specifically MR-VP broth.
