Key Features and Benefits
- Rapid and Reliable Results:
- Provides accurate identification of E. coli serotypes within minutes using simple slide or tube agglutination methods.
- Comprehensive Coverage:
- Polyvalent sera target multiple E. coli O antigen types, making them efficient for identifying a wide range of pathogenic strains.
- Ease of Use:
- Ready-to-use liquid formulation simplifies workflow and eliminates the need for extensive preparation.
- High Specificity:
- Agglutinating sera are absorbed to remove cross-reactive antigens, ensuring specific binding to the homologous E. coli antigen.
- Versatility:
- Suitable for use in clinical diagnostics, food safety testing, and environmental monitoring.
Applications
- Clinical Diagnostics:
- Supports the identification of diarrheagenic E. coli strains, aiding in the diagnosis of gastrointestinal infections such as:
- Enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC)
- Enteroinvasive E. coli (EIEC)
- Enterohemorrhagic E. coli (EHEC)
- Supports the identification of diarrheagenic E. coli strains, aiding in the diagnosis of gastrointestinal infections such as:
- Food Safety Testing:
- Detects E. coli contamination in food products, ensuring compliance with safety standards.
- Epidemiological Investigations:
- Tracks the spread of E. coli outbreaks, enabling public health authorities to identify and contain sources of contamination.
- Environmental Monitoring:
- Identifies E. coli contamination in water and other environmental samples, supporting sanitation and public health efforts.
