Which end of the tube is the handle end of the tube?
|
The blue cap end, this contains the wire that should be bent
|
Should the white capped end wire be bend or straight?
|
Straight, this is the needle end of the tube

|
How do you obtain the five digit number on the Entertube?
|
Circle the positive numbers then add them up
|
In the glucose compartment what 2 results will you read?
|
Yellow postive for glucose fermentation and Small bubbles in the agar or a gap between the agar and the wax is a positive result for gas production
|
In the Lysine and ornithine compartments, what color indicates a positive reaction (decarboxylation)?
|
Purple
|
In the Hydrogen Sulfide/Indole compartment what 2 results will you read?
|
Black color forming around the wire in the center is positive for the production of H2S. If the reagent turns bright red after adding the indole reagent its a positve reaction for indole from tryptophan
