Thermo Scientific™ Remel™ Agglutinating Sera, Shigella boydii Polyvalent

The Thermo Scientific™ Remel™ Shigella boydii Polyvalent Agglutinating Sera is a serological reagent used for the presumptive identification of Shigella boydii strains (serogroup C) via slide agglutination tests. These antisera provide a rapid and reliable method for detecting Shigella infections in clinical, epidemiological, and diagnostic microbiology laboratories.

The agglutinating sera react with specific Shigella antigens in cultured isolates, producing visible agglutination that confirms the presence of homologous bacterial serotypes. It is an essential tool for serotyping and differentiating Shigella boydii from other enteric bacteria, aiding in diagnostic workflows and public health surveillance.
