Strep D Strips

Rapid diagnostic test for Group D streptococci based on aesculin hydrolysis.

Strep D Strips are a simple, inexpensive test for demonstrating aesculin hydrolysis performed on colonies taken directly from isolation plates. Results are available much faster than with traditional bile aesculin tests and can be used to distinguish Lancefield Group D streptococcus from other streptococci. Works by demonstrating an organism’s ability to hydrolyse the glycoside aesculin in the presence of bile. Strips contain aesculin, ferric citrate and bile salts.

Features:

• Rapid test
• Result within 4 hours
• 12 month shelf life
