Named after A. von Wassermann. The Wassermann test is based on the ability of blood serum of syphilitic patients to form a complex with the appropriate antigen that absorbs complement (a component of normal serum); erythrocytes of sheepâs blood serve as the antigen, and the antibody is human blood serum.
TMPD. The oxidase test is a test used in microbiology to determine if a bacterium produces certain cytochrome c oxidases. It uses disks impregnated with a reagent such as N,N,Nâ²,Nâ²-tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine (TMPD) or N,N-dimethyl-p -phenylenediamine (DMPD), which is also a redox indicator.he test reagent, TMPD dihydrochloride acts as an artificial electron donor for the enzyme oxidase. The oxidized reagent forms the colored compound indophenol blue. The cytochrome system is usually only present in aerobic organisms that are capable of using oxygen as the terminal electron acceptor.
