Phadebact® GC Serovar Test is intended for serological classifi cation of Neisseria gonorrhoeae. The co-agglutination technique has been previously applied to the defi nitive identifi cation of N. gonorrhoeae using mixtures of monoclonal antibodies. Phadebact® GC Serovar Test is based on this co-agglutination technique but reagents are prepared with individual monoclonal antibodies. The reagents are intended for research purpose only e.g. in epidemiological studies (1, 2, 3). Learn More

Phadebact® ETEC-LT Test is intended for the identifi cation of heat-labile (LT) enterotoxin produced by E. coli from stool cultures. Learn More

Phadebact® Pneumococcus Test is a co-agglutination test containing Pneumococcal Reagent and Pneumococcal Control. The Pneumococcal Reagent is composed of specific antipneumococcal antibodies, raised in rabbits and coupled to the protein A of non-viable staphylococci (3, 4). The Pneumococcal Control is composed of gammaglobulin from non-immunized rabbits, coupled to the staphylococci. When a sample containing pneumococci is mixed with the Pneumococcal Reagent, specifi c antigens on the cell surface bind to the corresponding specifi c antibodies. In this way, a co-agglutination lattice is formed, which is visible to the naked eye. Learn More
