Description
Streptex™ Rapid is a rapid latex test system for use in the qualitative detection and identification of the Lancefield group of streptococci. Reagents are provided for groups A, B, C, F and G.
Use this rapid latex agglutination test which provides a complete solution for the isolation and differentiation of Lancefield groups A, B, C, F & G. View distinct, clear results with white latex agglutination on a black background. Individual latex grouping reagents are available as required.With Streptex, group specific antigens are extracted from streptococci in a simple incubation step. Antigens are then identified using polystyrene latex particles which have been coated with group-specific antibodies. These latex particles agglutinate strongly in the presence of homologous antigen and remain in smooth suspension in the absence of homologous antigen.
For a more rapid acid extraction method, Streptex Acid Extraction Kit (Part No. R30951301) is available for use with Streptex. Acid extraction will rapidly extract the Group antigens without the need for incubation. However, Group D antigen is not extracted efficiently with acid extraction; therefore, an alternative method must be used to confirm suspected Group D streptococci.
