The Prolex™ Staph Latex Kit provides a rapid platform for the identification of Staphylococcal isolates particularly Staphylococcus aureus which possess bound coagulase (clumping factor) and/or protein A from other species of staphylococci

  • Utilizes blue polystyrene latex particles that have been sensitized with fibrinogen and IgG
  • Rapid platform for the identification of Staphylococcal isolates
  • Reliable method for the identification of S. aureus

The Prolex™ Staph Latex Kit utilizes blue polystyrene latex particles that have been sensitized with fibrinogen and IgG

The Prolex™ Staph Xtra Latex Kit provides a rapid platform to distinguish
Staphylococcus aureus and methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) from other
species of staphylococci.

Although most Staphylococcus species are common inhabitants of the skin and mucous membranes, certain species have been found frequently as etiological agents of a variety of human and animal infections. Superficial suppurative infections caused by S. aureus are the most common human staphylococcal infections. Food poisoning, septicemia, toxic shock syndrome and many other conditions also have been attributed to S. aureus. Rapid slide agglutination tests have been shown to be a reliable method for the identification of S. aureus in the routine bacteriological laboratory.

When Staphylococcal colonies which possess bound coagulase (clumping factor) and / or protein A are mixed with the latex reagent, the latex particles will agglutinate strongly within 20 seconds.
