General description
These strips are used for detection of hydrogen sulfide production by microorganisms. Hydrogen sulfide can be produced in small amounts from sulfur containing amino acids like cysteine by a large number of bacteria in carbohydrate media. Hydrogen sulfide produces on contact with lead acetate a black preciptate, indicated by a visible black-colored reaction on the hydrogen sulfide paper strip. The lead acetate procedure is more sensitive than any other method for detecting hydrogen sulfide production.
Packaging
