BBL Nitrate Reagent A, BBL Nitrate Reagent B and BBL Nitrate Reagent C Droppers are for use in determining the ability of bacteria to reduce nitrate to nitrite or free nitrogen gas
Nitrate B Reagent Droppers contain 0.5 mL of 0.6% N,N-Dimethyl-alpha-naphthylamine in 5N Acetic Acid
The Nitrate A and B Reagents, when added in equal parts, indicate the presence of a catabolic end product or the absence of nitrate in the medium
