Description
INTENDED USE
Rapid latex agglutination test for the qualitative screening and semiquantitative determination of antistreptolysin O antibodies (ASO) in serum.
Liquid ready-to-use reagents
ASO reagent comes in a liquid format which is more convenient, and can also help reduce the risk of misdiagnosis
PERFORMANCE: –
A detectable level of 200 lU/ml Antistreptolysin O antibodies is usually
regarded as the normal upper limit since less than 15-20 % of healthy
individuals demonstrate titers greater than
200 lU/ml when their sera are assayed.
In most newborns the titer is initially greater than that of the mother due to maternally acquired lgG but the newborn levels fall sharply during the first few weeks of life. Other features: Agglutination method Liquid ready-to-use reagents Stable to expiry when stored at 2-8◦C
