Evaluation of rapid, commercial latex techniques for serogrouping beta-hemolytic streptococci.
The clinical need to rapidly and correctly differentiate beta-hemolytic streptococci into Lancefield groups has prompted the development of commercially available rapid agglutination techniques. A modified Streptex (Wellcome Diagnostics, Research Triangle Park, N.C.) technique and the PathoDx latex Strep Grouping Kit (Diagnostic Products Corporation, Los Angeles, Calif.) technique were applied ...
متن کاملSimplified coagglutination test for serological grouping of beta-hemolytic streptococci.
A new coagglutination kit consisting of a plastic slide with dried antibody-coated staphylococci was evaluated for the grouping of beta-hemolytic streptococci of groups A, B, C, and G. The test was compared with the classical precipitation test, using hot formamide antigen extracts with 224 strains of groups A, B, C, and G streptococci. An agreement of 100% was found between the new coagglutina...
متن کاملComparison of three commercially available fit-test methods.
American National Standards Institute (ANSI) standard Z88.10, Respirator Fit Testing Methods, includes criteria to evaluate new fit-tests. The standard allows generated aerosol, particle counting, or controlled negative pressure quantitative fit-tests to be used as the reference method to determine acceptability of a new test. This study examined (1) comparability of three Occupational Safety a...
متن کاملDevelopment of qRT-PCR Test for Quantification of Rubella Virus in Commercially Available Vaccines
vaccines is considered as a critical point and in-process of quality control (IPQC) test of vaccine production. Rapid tests, like real time PCR, are more appropriated when the production occurs at industrial scale because of the amounts of starting materials and the excess of consumed time required. In the current study, a real-time quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction...
متن کاملEvaluation of a commercially available rapid urinary porphobilinogen test.
BACKGROUND Demonstration of substantially increased urinary excretion of porphobilinogen is the cornerstone of diagnosing acute porphyria crisis. Because porphobilinogen testing is not implemented on clinical chemistry analysers, respective analyses are available in rather few clinical laboratories. The aim of this study was to critically describe and to evaluate a semi-quantitative rapid test ...
