Thermo Scientific™ Salmonella Test Kit using Latex Agglutination

Description

Presumptively identify Salmonella in selective and/or enrichment cultures with Thermo Scientific™ Oxoid™ Salmonella Test Kit. This rapid latex agglutination test is designed to deliver simple, rapid and sensitive results for the presence of Salmonella spp. in clinical, food and animal samples. The test utilizes latex particles sensitized with polyvalent antisera against the wide range of Salmonella flagellar antigens and can detect a majority of common Salmonella species, including Salmonella typhimurium and Salmonella enteritidis.

The genus Salmonella consists of over 2,400 serotypes that may cause acute infectious gastroenteritis frequently associated with food poisoning. Since many Salmonella species infect domestic animals, either clinically or subclinically, cases of Salmonella food poisoning usually originate from animal sources.

Use this rapid, simple and sensitive test for identification of Salmonella spp. in clinical, food and animal samples.

• Rapid—results in two minutes
• Simple—easy to implement
• Visual—easy-to-read results
• Sensitive—use of latex technology makes this test more sensitive and allows identification of Salmonella spp. at least 24 hours earlier than the traditional

The Salmonella Test Kit is particularly suited to screening cultures due to the high predictive value of a negative result. When screening clinical specimens, these features enable decisions on appropriate patient management to be taken sooner. The kit is also ideal for screening samples in the food industry where prompt results minimize the delay associated with routine testing for Salmonella spp. contamination.
