HiE.coli™ Latex Test Kit

HiE.coli0157™ Latex Test Kit is a rapid latex agglutination test intended for confirmatory identification of E. coli serogroup 0157 cultured on selective solid media from human faecal samples. The test allows the rapid differentiation of E. coli 0157 from other E. coli serotypes and organisms isolated from the faeces of patients with diarrhoea. This test depends on the agglutination of antibody coated latex particles with antigens from corresponding microorganisms. In this kit, Latex particles are coated with antibodies raised against the lipopolysaccharide 0157 antigen of E. coli 0157:H7. This kit is extremely rapid (typically less than 15 minutes) and simple to perform, can be read by eye and do not require expensive equipment. The kit is inended for in vitro diagnostic use only.
