Definitions
- the present invention involves the use of a reagent from the group of oxidase testing reagents known as phenylenediamines, including-the following: 'p-Amino Dimethylaniline Oxalate, N, N-Dimethyl-p- Phenylenediamine Dihydrochloride. N,'N-Dimethyl-p- Phenylenediamine Oxalate, N., vN-Dimethyl-p- Phenylenediamine.Monohydrochloride and N, N, N, N, N
- the wall structure of the plastic tube is flexible, it has sufficient rigidity normally to maintain a generally cylindrical shape and to permit easy insertion of the swab after a specimen of exudate has been taken.
- the ampul contains a suitable wetting agent, as described herein, and is sufficiently frangible that it can readily be broken when the sides of the flexible tube are pressed inwardly between the thumb and forefinger. whereupon the ampul shatters and permits its fluid contents to wet the material impregnated in the pledget, which normally is pushed into the fluid and fragmented glass when the swab is inserted in the tube.
- reaction between the specimen on the swab and the reagent in the pledget commences immediately and, if gonococci are present, the specimen on the swab changes color, normally to purple, red-orange, or dark gray, depending upon the reagent used in the pledget, thus indicating a positive test.
- the reaction time to indicate a positive specimen usually falls within the range of from 30 to 120 seconds.
- a physiological saline solution is prepared by adding 0.85 grams of Sodium Chloride to 99 ml distilled water and the pH adjusted to 7.0. This solution becomes the wetting agent. Frangible ampuls containing /2 ml of this solution are prepared, as this is the quantity necessary to adequately wet the /1 inch X 9/16 inch pledget.
- a sterile dacron swab, mounted on a plastic stick approximately mm long is packaged together with the reagent system and this combination becomes the diagnostic instrument.
- This swab is separately contained in its own sterile glassine envelope.
- the above procedure is repeated and a culture of Neisseria gonorrheae is used as being representative of the exudate in the foregoing example.
- the swab is used to pick a few colonies from a petri dish culture.
- the identical procedure is used with the instrument.
- a distinct purple coloration of the bacteria on the swab will be observed within 1 minute.
- the nearly colorless pledget and the white background of the dacron swab make the identification of the organisms on the swab clear and distinct, just as it is with the exudate directly from a patient.
