Sodium Hippurate (Legionella Test Reagent)

Sodium Hippurate (Legionella Test Reagent) is a specialized biochemical reagent designed for Legionella detection, Legionella identification, and hippurate hydrolysis testing in microbiology laboratories. Widely used in water microbiology testing, environmental monitoring, and clinical laboratory workflows, this reagent plays a critical role in differentiating Legionella species through enzymatic hydrolysis reactions and colorimetric interpretation.

In the Legionella hippurate hydrolysis test, Sodium Hippurate is incubated with bacterial suspensions, followed by the addition of ninhydrin reagent to detect glycine production. A deep purple color indicates a positive result, supporting accurate Legionella confirmation testing and improving reliability in bacterial identification workflows. This method is widely referenced in Legionella testing protocols, microbiological testing, and waterborne pathogen detection systems used in public health and industrial water monitoring.

Supplied in stable ampoule format for laboratory convenience, Sodium Hippurate ensures consistent performance in routine and advanced microbiological assays. Manufactured by Babio, a leading Chinese manufacturer of microbiological culture media and diagnostic reagents, this product supports global laboratories in achieving high-accuracy results.
