Upgraded technology helps kit performance for rapid latex agglutination systems for Streptococci, Staphylococci, Escherichia coli, and Legionella.

The manufacture of Prolex latex agglutination systems employs a unique process to better performance, clarity of results, and speed of reaction, offering advantages over traditional latex reactions. Latex agglutination reagents used for detection of antigens or antibodies have traditionally been prepared by physical adsorption of biological molecules to the surface of plain polystyrene (PS) micro-particles.

Prolex Latex Agglutination systems are based on carboxylate-modified micro-particles (CM-MP), and this represents a significant improvement over the traditional latex kits in terms of product performance characteristics, giving faster, clearer, and more specific reactions.

Prolex Strep has always been presented as the unique instant room temperature method using Blue carboxylate-modified micro-particles (CM-MP). This Blue technology has now been extended to our Staphylococcus aureus, E coli 0157/H7, and Legionella range of latex kits, offering faster, clearer, and more specific results.

Prolex Latex Agglutination Systems are manufactured by Pro-Lab Diagnostics (Toronto, Canada).
