Thermo Scientific™ Agglutinating Sera, Salmonella O

Description

Serologically identify somatic O antigens of Salmonella strains by slide agglutination test for epidemiological and diagnostic purposes using Thermo Scientific™ Remel™ Agglutinating Sera, Salmonella O. The sera are absorbed to remove agglutinins for other Salmonella antigens and the paracolon α agglutinin. Salmonella Somatic Agglutinating Sera (ZC series) are intended for the identification of O antigens.

Serological tests are based on the fact that antibodies in serum, produced in response to exposure to bacterial antigens, will agglutinate with bacteria carrying homologous antigens.

Serologically identify somatic O antigens of Salmonella strains by slide and/or tube agglutination tests for epidemiological and diagnostic purposes using Agglutinating Sera, Salmonella O.

• Rapid: Results within 1 minute.
• Simple, ready to use: Makes the procedure easy to implement and run

The genus Salmonella is classified in the Kauffmann-White Scheme into serotypes according to combinations of somatic (O) and flagellar (H) antigens, which are identified by agglutination tests¹. Agglutinating sera should be used in confirmatory tests but may also be used with appropriate caution in screening tests². These simple tests rapidly detect specific bacterial antigens for the identification, grouping and/or typing of Salmonella and other food-borne microorganisms. This incorporates agglutinating sera for the identification somatic O antigens of Salmonella (groups A-S), allowing the fast, accurate and reliable identification of Salmonella strains.
