DiaMondiaL Staph Plus Latex Kit, 100 Test.
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%)
