Catalase Reagent (3% Hydrogen Peroxide) is a ready-to-use solution designed for rapid differentiation of catalase-positive and catalase-negative bacteria in clinical microbiology. When applied to a bacterial colony, the presence of catalase enzyme is indicated by immediate effervescence (oxygen bubble formation).

This simple but essential test helps distinguish Streptococcus spp. (catalase-negative) from Staphylococcus spp. and Listeria spp. (both catalase-positive), making it a core reagent for routine microbial identification workflows.

Packaged in a convenient 60 mL screw-cap bottle for controlled dispensing and reduced contamination risk.

Key Features
• Ready-to-use 3% hydrogen peroxide solution
• Rapid detection of catalase activity (bubble formation)
• Differentiates Staphylococcus & Listeria (catalase-positive) from Streptococcus (catalase-negative)
