Evaluation of a xylene substitute in Ehrlich indole test.
Journal of Clinical Microbiology
|November 1, 1986
Summary
Hemo-De is a viable alternative to xylene for the Ehrlich indole test. This evaluation confirms its suitability for laboratory use in diagnostic procedures.
Area of Science:
- Medical laboratory science
- Analytical chemistry
Background:
- Xylene is a common solvent used in laboratory procedures.
- The Ehrlich modification of the indole test is a standard biochemical assay.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate Hemo-De as a potential substitute for xylene.
- To determine the efficacy of Hemo-De in the Ehrlich indole test.
Main Methods:
- Laboratory evaluation of Hemo-De.
- Comparison of Hemo-De with xylene in the Ehrlich indole test.
Main Results:
- Hemo-De demonstrated suitability as a substitute for xylene.
- The Ehrlich modification of the indole test can be performed using Hemo-De.
Conclusions:
- Hemo-De is a suitable alternative solvent for the Ehrlich indole test.
- This finding supports the use of Hemo-De in clinical and research laboratories.
