DiaMondiaL Staph Plus Latex Kit, 100 Test.

DiaMondiaL Staph Plus Latex Kit, 100 Test.

The kit provides a rapid method to distinguish staphylococci (particularly staphylococus aureus) and methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) from other species of staphylococci in cultured specimens.

Principle of the test:

DiaMondial Staph Plus Latex Kit utilizes polystyrene latex particles which have been sensitized with fibrinogen and IgG that are specific for capsular types 5 and 8 of S. aureus.  When Staphylococcal colonies which possess at least one of clumping factor, protein A and / or capsular 5 or 8 antigens are mixed with the latex reagent, the latex particles agglutinate strongly within 20 seconds.   

 Features:

  • As few as 2 colonies required from primary culture
  • Enhanced results with blue carboxylated microparticles (CM-MP)
  • Detects all Staphylococcus aureus including MRSA
  • Detects Coagulase, Protein A and Capsular Polysaccharide 5 and 8 Antigens
  • Definitive results obtained within 20 seconds
  • High performance (sensitivity of 100% and specificity of 100%)
