Thermo Scientific™ Wellcolex™ Color Salmonella Rapid Latex Agglutination Test Kit

Description

• Rapidly detect and presumptively identify Salmonella from culture by latex agglutination using Thermo Scientific™ Wellcolex™ Color Salmonella Rapid Latex Agglutination Test Kit
• Save up to two days' testing time over traditional screening procedures with this easy-to-use, cost-effective test
• With its high positive and negative predictive values (PPV > 98.7%) and results in less than three minutes, laboratories can use this rapid screening test to eliminate Salmonella-negative samples from further testing, reducing the number of samples requiring confirmatory testing
• Use this rapid latex agglutination test for detection and presumptive serogrouping of Salmonella from Selenite Broth and solid culture media
• Wellcolex Color Salmonella can also be used for the presumptive identification of Salmonella serogroups A, B, C, D, E, and G, and the Vi antigen using just two reagents
• Identifies major groups of Salmonella Utilizes advanced color technology for clear, easy-to-read species and/or serogroup identification Provides accurate, reliable results in less than three minutes Quickly eliminates negative samples when used as primary culture screening method To perform Wellcolex Color Salmonella, a sample from a Selenite F broth culture (18 to 24 hours incubation) or a suspension of bacteria from solid agar is reacted with two test reagents, consisting of a mixture of suspensions of red, blue and green latex particles, each of which is coated with antibody specific for different Salmonella serogroups
• In the presence of homologous antigen one of the colors in the mixture will agglutinate, and the identity of the antigen is indicated by the color of the aggregated particles with a contrasting change in the color of the background
• Each combination is easily distinguished from the others and from a negative result in which the particles remain in smooth grey‑brown suspension, and the occasional non‑specific result in which all the particles agglutinate into grey‑brown aggregates against a cleared background
