Description
Kovacs' Reagent is a specialised reagent for microbiology, supplied in a 100 ml glass pack for routine laboratory identification and culture-related workflows. It is intended where this classic formulation is specified in microbial testing protocols. Physical reference data include a density of 0,92 g/cm³, a flash point of 36 °C and a boiling point of 108 °C, supporting informed handling and process planning on the bench. The glass container helps protect the contents during transport and everyday laboratory use. Available from manufacturer Carl ROTH, the reagent fits standard media and biochemical test inventories in teaching, diagnostic and research settings. The practical 100 ml unit size suits laboratories that need a dependable working volume without excess bulk. Clearly stated density and thermal properties assist risk assessment and safe integration into existing standard operating procedures. Whether used in educational courses or professional microbiology suites, this Kovacs' Reagent pack provides a convenient format for ongoing analytical and identification work.

Questions about Kovacs' Reagent, for microbiology, 100 ml, glass
What is this article?
Kovacs' Reagent, for microbiology, 100 ml, glass is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Carl Roth for laboratory use. It sits in Reagents for analysis (Ph. Eur., ASTM, DIN), inside Analytical standards & reference materials, in Lab chemicals.
A reagent for analysis is a chemical whose impurities are limited so they do not become a signal in a titration, a digestion or a photometric method. Pharmacopoeia, ASTM and DIN names point at different limit lists. The grade, not only the identity, is the purchase.
A reference material is the article against which another result is compared. Its value is stated, and the uncertainty of that value is part of the product. An ICP or ion standard is a solution of known concentration. A volumetric standard is for titration. A chromatography standard is the peak you match. The grade names, including pharmacopoeia and ASTM, say which impurities were limited. Identity is checked on PubChem. Names follow IUPAC. Medicinal grades follow the European Pharmacopoeia and USP.
