Thermo Scientific™ Stained Proteus Suspensions

Description

Rapidly detect and quantify rickettsial antibodies in sera with Thermo Scientific™ Remel™ Stained Proteus Suspensions. Stained Proteus Suspensions are standardized, smooth suspensions of killed bacteria which have been stained to facilitate reading of agglutination tests.

Use Stained Proteus Suspensions for the quantitative detection of rickettsial antibodies in sera for epidemiological and diagnostic purposes in the investigation of rickettsial infections (Weil-Felix test)^{1, 2.}

• Simple, easy to use tests
• Provide accurate, reliable results in as little as one minute

The tests are based on the fact that somatic constituents of some strains of Proteus are shared with some species of Rickettsia. Sera from people with some rickettsial infections therefore will agglutinate suspensions of the Proteus strains.
