The Thermo Scientific™ Remel™ Agglutinating Sera for Neisseria meningitidis is a ready-to-use diagnostic tool designed for the serological identification of Neisseria meningitidis Groups A, B, C, D, X, Y, Z, and W135. This polyvalent agglutinating serum provides rapid, reliable identification of bacterial strains through visible agglutination reactions, supporting both epidemiological studies and clinical diagnostics of bacterial meningitis.
Key Features and Benefits
- Comprehensive Coverage:
- Designed to identify multiple serogroups (A, B, C, D, X, Y, Z, W135).
- Ideal for epidemiological and diagnostic purposes in cases of bacterial meningitis.
- High Specificity:
- The test's group specificity relies on the detection of capsular polysaccharides specific to each serogroup.
- Strains with matching antigens are agglutinated exclusively by homologous antiserum.
- Rapid and Accurate Results:
- Visible agglutination occurs within one minute for positive test suspensions.
- Negative controls show no visible agglutination, ensuring easy interpretation.
- Ready-to-Use Reagents:
- Supplied in 2 mL dropper bottles with liquid formulations.
- Preserved with 0.5% phenol for extended usability and stability.
- Ease of Storage:
- Stable at standard refrigeration temperatures (2–8°C).
- CE Marked:
- Conforms to European health, safety, and environmental protection standards.
Applications
- Clinical Diagnostics:
- Provides rapid presumptive identification of N. meningitidis serogroups, allowing for timely initiation of appropriate antimicrobial therapy.
- Facilitates early detection in suspected bacterial meningitis cases.
- Epidemiological Studies:
- Supports surveillance and research efforts by identifying Neisseria meningitidis strains circulating in populations.
- Laboratory Testing:
- Compatible with slide agglutination tests.
- Suitable for manual diagnostic workflows in microbiology labs.
Test Procedure
- Test Suspension:
- Prepare a test suspension using the bacterial culture.
- Add one drop of the polyvalent serum to the suspension.
- Observe for strong agglutination within one minute.
- Control Suspension:
- Use homologous cultures as positive control organisms.
- Verify that no agglutination occurs in the negative control suspension.
