SeroMAX WIDAL
(SLIDE AGGLUTINATION Method)
INTENDED USE :
Kit is use for the Qualitative and Semi-Quantitative determination of Antibodies
to Salmonella typhi and Salmonella paratyphi in Human Serum
Product Fearures:
- Sera from normal individuals may show agglutination upto 1 : 40 dilution.
- Agglutination Titre greater than 1 : 80 is considered to be significant and usually suggestive of infection.
- SeroMAX WIDALis only a Screening Test. For confirmation of results testing with SeroMAX WIDAL– Tis recommended.
- The correlation of test results with typical Clinical Symptoms and Patient’s history should be taken into account before arriving at the final diagnosis.
- As with all diagnostic procedures, the Physician should evaluate data obtained by use of this kit in light of other clinical information.
- For accuracy of results, the procedure has to be followed meticulously.
- Bring all the reagents to room temperature before use.
- Serum should not be inactivated.
- Shake antigen vial well before use.
- Avoid performing of the test directly under the fan.
- In a non inoculated person the titre as high as 1 : 80 between 7th or 10th day of fever is of diagnostic value and the same titre increases gradually during subsequant period.
- In an inculated person the question of anamnestic response should always be born in mind and ‘H’titre should not be taken into account for the purpose of diagnosis unless there is a rising titre of ‘H’ in subsequant peroid.
