Latex Agglutination kits
With results in just 2 minutes, these tests seamlessly integrate into laboratory workflows, offering a highly specific and sensitive alternative to traditional culture methods.
We are pleased to launch the Microgen rapid latex agglutination tests, fast, easy and cost-efficient methods for confirmatory identification of Salmonella, Legionella or Staphylococcus aureus colonies in food and environmental samples.
With results in just 2 minutes, these tests seamlessly integrate into laboratory workflows, offering a highly specific and sensitive alternative to traditional culture methods. Plus, their user-friendly design requires no specialized training or equipment, allowing labs to implement them immediately!
A rapid latex agglutination test providing results in two minutes directly from a selective medium for the confirmatory identification of:
• Legionella pneumophila Serogroup 1 and Serogroup 2-15
• Non-L. pneumophila species of clinical significance grown on selective media
Fast & Easy
- Results in 2 minutes
- No equipment or highly trained personnel required
Inclusive
- Detects Legionella pneumophila Serogroup 1 and 2-15, together with 10 of the most clinically relevant species
Efficient
- Quickly integrates into laboratory workflow improving efficiency
- 100% specificity and sensitivity compared to traditional culture methods
The test is compliant with ISO 11731 Water Quality – Detection and enumeration of Legionella.
Microgen Legionella pneumophila identifies a range of non-L. pneumophila species of clinical significance with high specificity and no cross-reaction with L. pneumophila. The latexes used in Microgen Legionella are coated with immunoglobulins which have been specially processed to minimize issues with potentially cross reacting organisms thereby eliminating the need for a control latex.
Detects the following species:
- L. pneumophila Serogroup 1 and 2-15
- L. micdadei
- L. bozemanii I & II
- L. dumoffii
- L. longbeachae I & II
- L. jordanis
- L. gormanii
- L. anisa
- L. feelei
