Product Code. 11414069

Description

Serologically identify Vibrio cholerae O1 by slide agglutination technique for epidemiological and diagnostic purposes using Thermo Scientific™ Remel™ Vibrio cholerae Polyvalent Agglutinating Serum. 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.

Vibrio cholerae serogroup O1 is associated with most epidemic outbreaks of cholera. The O-serogrouping is based on antibodies that recognize structural differences in the heat stable O-antigen (lipopolysaccharide) of the bacteria. V. cholerae O1 and V. cholerae non-O1 isolates can be distinguished on the basis of simple agglutination tests.

• Ready to use - Prepared reagent
• Easy to store - Store at 2-8° C
• Easy to interpret -
