Faster Streptococcus grouping

The Thermo Scientific PathoDxtra Strep Grouping Kit has just been launched. This latex agglutination kit offers faster Streptococcus grouping than traditional methods for all clinically significant Lancefield groups. Designed to improve workflow efficiencies, the nitrous acid extraction instantly removes the cell antigens and the test does not require rehydration or incubation.

“Previously, choosing the best Streptococcus grouping kit involved compromise,” said Julie Elston, global product manager, Immunodiagnostics, Thermo Fisher. “Acid extraction kits offered speed but did not detect group D organisms, while enzyme kits detected all groups but required rehydration and incubation, adding significant time to testing procedures. With PathoDxtra, there is no compromise; the kits offer instant extraction and reliable detection of all clinically significant streptococci, including group D.”
