CAMP Test was first discovered by four researchers Christie, Atkins, Munch, and Peterson in 1944, that’s why this test is also known as Christie–Atkins–Munch-Peterson test.

Learn the reverse CAMP test principle, procedure and result, including bow-tie hemolysis in Clostridium perfringens, positive organisms, uses and CAMP test differences.

Proteins are polymers of amino acids. They are complex organic compounds containing nitrogen, hydrogen, carbon, and oxygen. Proteins are abundant in our everyday food e.g. egg, soya bean, pulses, fish, milk etc.

It is a type of biochemical test which is used to distinguish reducing sugars from non-reducing sugars. This biochemical test is also known as the silver mirror test based on the end product of this test. This test was also used to differentiate between aldehydes and ketones through routine qualitative organic analysis.

The oxidase test is a biochemical reaction that assays for the presence of cytochrome oxidase, an enzyme sometimes called indophenol oxidase. In the presence of an organism that contains the cytochrome oxidase enzyme, the reduced colorless reagent becomes an oxidized colored product .

Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) is a Gram positive bacteria. It is a spore forming bacteria. It is found naturally in different environment like soil water dead insects and plant surface. It is known for producing special protein crystal during sporulation phase. These protein crystal is known as delta endotoxin (Cry and Cyt proteins). When these crystal … Read more

Learn Nylander’s test for reducing sugars, including its principle, reagent composition, procedure, black bismuth result, interpretation, limitations, and modern relevance.

Picric Acid Test is a qualitative chemical test used for the detection of reducing sugars in a given sample. It detects sugars which can act as reducing agents under alkaline condition. The test is based on the reducing property of these sugars. In alkaline medium, the reducing sugar reacts with yellow picric acid (2,4,6-trinitrophenol). During … Read more

The Lane–Eynon method is a volumetric titration technique used for the quantitative estimation of reducing sugars in food and dairy products. It is commonly used for the determination of sugars such as dextrose, maltose, and lactose. This method is based on the reduction of Fehling’s solution by reducing sugars under boiling conditions. It is simple, … Read more

Gerhardt’s test is a type of laboratory test which is performed for the qualitative detection of ketone bodies in urine.
