Rapidly detect antigens to Streptococcus Group B present in human cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), serum, urine or blood cultures by latex agglutination.
Wellcogen™ Strep B is a rapid latex test for use in the qualitative detection of antigen from group B streptococci, present in body fluids as a consequence of infection1 or in blood cultures. NOTE: Tests performed directly on clinical specimens are intended for screening purposes and should augment, not replace, culture procedures. Results must be used in conjunction with other data; e.g. symptoms, results of other tests, clinical impressions etc.Use this rapid latex agglutination test in the qualitative detection of antigens from Group B streptococci, present in body fluids as a consequence of infection, or in blood cultures. The reagent consists of polystyrene latex particles which have been coated with antibodies specific to the Group B antigen.
These latex particles agglutinate in the presence of sufficient homologous antigen.
