Description

Use 5% Oxalic Acid reagent to digest and decontaminate clinical specimens prior to inoculation of media for isolating Mycobacterium species.

Digest and decontaminate clinical specimens prior to inoculation of media for isolating Mycobacterium species using Thermo Scientific™ Remel™ Oxalic Acid reagent. In 1930, Corper and Uyei described an oxalic acid procedure prior to inoculation of media for digestion and decontamination of clinical specimens1. They reported growth of acid-fast bacilli on a variety of media after using this reagent.

Most clinical specimens submitted to the microbiological laboratory for isolation of acid-fast bacilli are contaminated with more rapidly growing commensal microbial flora2. Acid-fast bacilli may also be trapped in respiratory secretions and cannot be cultured without liquefaction of the specimen3. Due to its high acid content, Oxalic Acid (5%) acts as a decontaminating agent. It also acts as a liquefying agent to release the mycobacterial cells from mucin in the respiratory specimen.Ready-to-use: Liquid reagentEspecially useful in specimens contaminted with Pseudomonas spp3.This reagent contains 5% w/v of oxalic acid supplied as 250mlL bottles.Not all products are available for sale in all territories. Please inquire.Remel™ and Oxoid™ products are now part of the Thermo Scientific brand.
