Here's some of the precautions:
A time limit must be set for observing the colour change, a sterile wooden stick/platinum loop must be used, store the oxidase paper at ~4 degree Celcius and in a dry state.
Also, place the test paper on a glass slide. Lastly, the test paper should be discarded to the disinfectant

Why should nichrome or iron-containing inoculating devices not be used in the oxidase test?
It can result in a false positive result.
What is the family name of molybdenum?
Molybdenum is in the Xanthine Oxidase family.
What measures exist to prevent C-reactive protein from forming in the bloodstream?
As of 2005, there are no precautions regarding the C-reactive protein test.
What are PAT test labels used for?
PAT test labels are used for checking on whether or not an electronic device has been inspected recently or not. This is mainly for safety precautions when using large or dangerous electronics.
Is the media for oxidase test selective or differential?
media used for oxidase test is non selective media
Are there limitations to the oxidase test?
There are none.
Give explanation why the Oxidase test identifies the presence of cytochrome c oxidase and not the other electron carriers?
An oxidase test relies on a reagent that will change colors when it is oxidized. The reagent used in the test only reacts to cytochrome c oxidase by acting in place of oxygen to receive electrons from the cytochrome.
Why is It advisable to include an oxidase positive control organism in any test of an unknown organism?
It's advisable so that the oxidase test determines whether or not an organism has cytochrome oxidase in its electron transport chain.
Why is it advisable to include an oxidase-positive control organism in any test of an unknown organism?
It's advisable so that the oxidase test determines whether or not an organism has cytochrome oxidase in its electron transport chain.
Why is it advisable to include a known oxidase-positive control in any test of an unknown organism?
It's advisable so that the oxidase test determines whether or not an organism has cytochrome oxidase in its electron transport chain.
Does E. coli test positive for oxidase?
no
What is another test used for the identification of Staphylococcus aureus?
oxidase test.
The oxidase test is used to differentiate among which groups of bacteria?
Differentitate among members of the genera Neisseria and Pseudomonas which are oxidase positive and Enterobacteriaceae which are oxidase negative.
What is the function of the test reagent in the oxidase test?
The ability of bacteria to produce cytochrome oxidase can be determined by the addition of the test reagent p-aminodimethylaniline oxalate to colonies grown on a plate medium.
Why is an oxidase test performed on a culture before using API 20E and Enterotube II to identify the culture?
API 20E and Enterotube II are for the identification of oxidase- negative bacteria. If the oxidase test is positive, these two methods of identification would be useless.
What is Oxidase test results for bacillus subtilis?
It is NEGATIVE
