ASOT

INTENDED FOR USE

Rapid latex agglutination test for the qualitative screening and semi- quantitative determination of antistreptolysin O antibodies (ASOT) in serum.

PRINCIPLE:
ASO is a stabilized buffered suspension of polystyrene latex particles that have been coated with streptolysin O. when the latex reagent is mixed with a serum containing antibodies to streptolysin O, agglutination occurs. The latex reagent has been produced so that agglutination will take place only when the level of antibodies to streptolysin O is greater than 200 lU/ml, a level determined to be indicative of disease by epidemiological and clinical studies. Sera having titers of between 200 lU/ml and 3500 lU/ml will be reactive
