Syphilis Test Kits
Lorne Labs are suppliers of Syphilis kits and reagents for medical professionals, governments, blood transfusion professionals, and hospital laboratories. The kits include TPHA reagent, VDRL reagent and RPR (Rapid plasma reagin) reagent. These Syphilis test kits identify the antibodies to the bacterium which causes syphilis in fresh serum or plasma to help facilitate early detection and treatment of the disease.
Febrile Antigen Kits
Febrile Antigen Kit
Lorne Lab’s stained Febrile Antigen Kit consists of stained bacterial suspensions for the detection of fatal common infections including certain Salmonellae, Richettsiae and Bruchellae pathogens.
The reagents consist of killed and stained febrile antigens which agglutinate when mixed with human serum samples containing the corresponding antibodies are suitable for both slide and tube agglutination techniques. The Kit is suitable for the qualitative and semi-quantitative detection of antibodies which means that the tests may be performed to detect the presence of the antibodies in event of an infections but also to measure a rise or fall in antibody titre.
Febrile Antigen kit consists of 8 vials x 5ml containing a different a bacterial antigen suspension each (Salmonella Typhi H, Salmonella paratyphi AH, Salmonella paratyphi BH, Salmonella paratyphi CH, Salmonella Typhi O, Salmonella paratyphi AO, Salmonella paratyphi BO, Salmonella paratyphi CO) and also 2 Control reagents (1ml of Positive Control and 1ml of Negative control). The reagents of the kit are stained to enhance the reading of the agglutination tests, making the febrile antigen kits the most efficient test kit when dealing with Salmonellae, Brucellae or Richettsiae type infections.
Lorne Labs also manufacture and supply Rose Bengal staining tests which is a simple and popular way to detect anti-Brucella antibodies in human and animal serum. All of our test kits are easy to use, have a long shelf life and provide fast results to allow screening for a particular disease. Can be used with the rapid slide technique, slide titration technique or tube methods against human sera.
How Lorne's Febrile Antigen Kits work
The antigens are suspensions of killed bacteria, stained to enhance the reading of agglutination tests. The blue stained antigens are specific to the somatic “O” antigens and the red stained antigens are specific to the flagellar “H” antigens.
Suspensions of Proteus OX2, OX19 and OXK are used to detect rickettsial antibodies. Rose Bengal is a slide agglutination test for the qualitative and semi-quantitative detection of anti-Brucella antibodies in human and animal serum. The stained bacterial suspension agglutinates when it is mixed with samples containing specific IgG ro IgM antibodies present in the patient sample.
At Lorne we manufacture and offer several Febrile Antigens for use of medical professionals with bulk reagents available for a number of products.
