SLIDEX^® - Latex Agglutination

SLIDEX^® reagents allow extremely rapid bacterial identification, and are ideal for veterinary applications.

Ready-to-use SLIDEX^® reagents for bacterial identification

SLIDEX^® reagent kits are designed to perform efficient and rapid bacterial identification, either from direct culture or animal specimens for veterinary applications.

How?

The latex particles present on all SLIDEX^® reagents are coated with antibodies. The different antigens tested bond to those antibodies and cause visible agglutination in as little as 30 seconds or up to a few minutes. Identification is made in only a few minutes.

Uses for veterinary laboratories

Rapid diagnosis of contagious diseases enable farmers, breeders and veterinary laboratories to implement more efficient plans of action in case of contamination. By providing reliable results within minutes, SLIDEX^® reagent kits help protect both animal and patient safety.
