Shigella sonnei (Phases 1 and 2) Agglutinating Sera

Identify Shigella cultures presumptively for epidemiological and diagnostic purposes using Thermo Scientific™ Remel™ Shigella sonnei (Phases 1 and 2) Agglutinating Sera.

These sera are suitable for use in slide agglutination tests. Serological tests are based on the fact that antibodies produced in the serum in response to exposure to bacterial antigens will visibly agglutinate with bacteria carrying homologous antigens. Antisera provide serological identification only; full identification of an organism must be made in conjunction with biochemical testing.

Shigella sonnei can be differentiated on the basis of their reactions with specific antisera. Remel Shigella sonnei (Phases 1 and 2) Agglutinating Sera cover S. sonnei phases 1 and 2.

• Ready to use: Supplied as ready to use agglutinating serum.
• Easy to interpret: Visible agglutination with S. sonnei 1 and 2. Control solution shows no visible agglutination.

Shigella sonnei (Phases 1 and 2) Agglutinating Sera are produced in rabbits and preserved with 0.5% phenol. Each dropper bottle contains 2 mL liquid and is supplied ready to use.
