ASSAY PROCEDURE
TEST PRINCIPLE
EQUINOX is a qualitative test based on the growth inhibition of E. coli bacterium, a microorganism especially sensitive to quinolones.
When the test is incubated at 37 °C, bacteria cells grow modifying the redox potential of the medium and changing its colour from blue to brown-orange. If samples contain quinolones at concentrations above the limit of detection of the kit, microorganisms will not grow neither colour changes will be observed.
