Prueba de aglutinación de látex Staphaurex™

Rapidly identify and differentiate staphylococci which possess coagulase and/or protein A, particularly Staphylococcus aureus, using the Thermo Scientific™ Staphaurex™ Latex Agglutination Test.

Experience quality and reliability with this rapid and accurate latex test for the identification and differentiation of staphylococcus aureus. White latex particles are coated with human fibrinogen for detection of clumping factor and specific IgG for detection of protein A.

When mixed on a slide with a suspension of S. aureus, reaction of clumping factor with the fibrinogen and/or protein A with the IgG causes rapid, strong agglutination of the latex particles.

• Save time, money, and resources by turning to one company, one source, for a complete set of Staph identification solutions

Although Staphylococci are commonly found on the skin and in mucous membranes, they have been associated with many human and animal infections. S.aureus and other coagulase-positive Staphylococci have been identified as a cause of suppurative infections, food poisoning and toxic shock syndrome and have been isolated from nearly all anatomical sites.
