Pro-Lab Vision™ polyvalent Salmonella antisera

Pro-Lab Vision™ Polyvalent Salmonella Antisera is a high-quality, ready-to-use set of serological reagents for the identification and differentiation of Salmonella species based on their O (somatic) and H (flagellar) antigens. These antisera are carefully prepared using reference strains and are absorbed to eliminate cross-reactions, ensuring high specificity and accuracy in laboratory testing.

Product Variants

1. PL.6000: Polyvalent O A–I + Vi (3.0 mL)

• Detects O group antigens A through I and the Vi antigen.
• Ideal for broad-spectrum screening of Salmonella enterica serovars that express these antigens.
• Used for rapid initial serological grouping of Salmonella isolates.

2. PL.6002: Polyvalent O A–S (3.0 mL)

• Covers a wider range of O group antigens A through S.
• Provides a comprehensive solution for the identification of diverse Salmonella O antigens, including those not covered in the PL.6000 formulation.

3. PL.6100: Polyvalent H Phase 1 & 2 (3.0 mL)

• Detects H (flagellar) antigens for both Phase 1 and Phase 2.
• Useful for differentiating Salmonella enterica isolates based on flagellar antigen expression.

4. PL.6101: Polyvalent H Phase 2 Factors 1, 2, 5, 7, z6 (3.0 mL)

• Specifically targets Phase 2 H antigens (factors 1, 2, 5, 7, z6).
• Allows precise identification of isolates expressing these unique Phase 2 flagellar antigens.

4. Comprehensive Coverage:
   • Different antisera formulations target a broad range of Salmonella O and H antigens, enabling thorough identification.
5. Flexible Applications:
   • Suitable for clinical diagnostics, food safety testing, and public health laboratories.

Applications

1. Clinical Diagnostics

• Supports serological identification of Salmonella species in stool, blood, or other clinical specimens.
• Facilitates the diagnosis of salmonellosis, a common cause of foodborne illness.

2. Food Safety Testing

• Detects Salmonella contamination in food and water samples.
• Ensures compliance with regulatory standards in food production and distribution.

3. Public Health and Epidemiology

• Tracks outbreaks of Salmonella infections by identifying serovars involved.
• Assists in monitoring antimicrobial resistance patterns and pathogen distribution.

4. Research Laboratories

• Enables detailed studies of Salmonella serovars, including antigenic structures and immune responses.
• Supports vaccine development and molecular biology studies.

Usage Instructions

1. Culture Preparation:
   • Isolate Salmonella colonies and confirm biochemical characteristics.
2. Serological Testing:
   • Place a drop of the antisera onto a clean glass slide.
   • Add a bacterial suspension prepared from the isolate.
   • Mix gently and observe for visible agglutination within 1–2 minutes.

Packaging

• Volume: 3.0 mL per dropper bottle.
• Format: Polyvalent antiserum for rapid serological testing.

Storage and Stability
