The Cosmos Biomedical Receptor Destroying Enzyme (RDE) Kit is designed for use in influenza virus serodiagnosis, particularly in the hemagglutination inhibition (HI) test. The kit is used to eliminate non-specific hemagglutination inhibitors present in human serum, helping improve the reliability of influenza serological testing.
The RDE enzyme is isolated from Vibrio cholerae serovar Ogawa strain 558 and supplied as a lyophilised product. Each kit contains multiple vials for laboratory use and includes kanamycin sulphate as a preservative to support product stability and performance.

Handling & Storage Notes
- Store at 2°C to 10°C, protected from light.
- Do not use beyond the expiry date.
- Use appropriate PPE, including gloves, eye protection, and mask.
- Treat all human serum samples and used materials as potentially infectious.
- Dissolved RDE solution should be used immediately where possible.
- If storage of dissolved solution is necessary, freeze at –20°C or lower and avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
- Use only for the intended influenza HI test serum-treatment application.
Important Use Limitation
The RDE kit is intended for eliminating inhibitors in human serum during influenza virus HI testing. It should not be used for serodiagnosis of mumps or parainfluenza viruses, as it may affect antibodies present in serum.
The Cosmos Biomedical RDE Receptor Destroying Enzyme Kit, CB50/340122 is a specialised reagent kit for influenza serology laboratories performing hemagglutination inhibition testing. By removing non-specific inhibitors from serum samples, it supports improved assay reliability and clearer interpretation of influenza HI test results. Its lyophilised format, defined enzyme source, and multi-vial pack configuration make it suitable for virology, public health, and influenza surveillance laboratories.
