So? I hear you asking...how are they good?

Well! Let me tell you, these have:
  • Quality check of slide agglutination reagents for Anti-Salmonella & Anti-Shigella
  • Verification of test results without labour-intesive type culture collection.
  • Easy handling of ready-to-use control antigens for slide agglutination
  • High titre, monoclonal and long shelf-life.

Quality comes first.

The performance of laboratory diagnostics requires a quality assurance system that follows generally accepted standards of medical science. This ensures the necessary quality, safety, and effectiveness in the use of in-vitro diagnostics. Above all, the system must ensure that test results are accurate and reliable.
Test procedure 

Place one drop of control antigen onto a microscope slide and mix with one drop of the appropriate antisera.  To rule out spontaneous agglutination, a negative control using physiological saline should be carried out.

Salmonella control antigens - TS1501-TS1507
​These control antigens are used for the quality control of the Anti-Salmonella test reagents to determine the O, H and Vi antigens listed above using a slide agglutination test.

Shigella control antigens - TS1510-TS1513
​

These control antigens are used for the quality control of the polyspecfic test Anti-Shigella reagents using the slide agglutination test. Furthermore, the control antigen for Shigella dysenteriae can also be used to test the monospecific test reagents Anti-Shigella dysenteriae type 1 and Anti-Shigella dysenteriae type 2. The control antigen Shigella sonnei is also used to test the test reagent Anti-Shigella sonnei S-form & F-form (phases I & II).
