Phil Geis

Chapter Methodology of siderophores

- have seen this assay work well for bacteria nd fungal siderophores.

Salma Mukhtar

You can also use SideroTec Kit for this purpose.

情熱的研究者

Dear Phil Geis and Salma Mukhtar, thanks for your help!

Ghada A. Mohammad

I have the same question, so did you get the kit which salma mukhtar mentioned it?

No, I couldn’t manage to obtain the kit, skipped the experiment for now.

Yaseerah Shakhun

Have you managed to do the test without CAS ? I need to do that too actually

Kieran Walshe

The kit is called SideroTec-Total and is available from Accuplex Diagnostics
