Oxoid has extended the Prospect range of qualitative enzyme immunoassays.
The range now includes test kits for denovirus, Astrovirus, Clostridium difficile, Campylobacter, Cryptosporidium, Entamoeba histolytica, Giardia, Giardia/Cryptosporidium, Rotavirus and Shiga Toxin Escherichia coli.
These easy-to-use diagnostic tests for enteric infectious diseases (gastroenteritis), caused by bacteria, viruses and parasites, require minimal hands-on time, are suitable for automated protocols (DSX and Triturus) and provide results in less than two hours.
The test kits have common substrate, wash buffer and stop solution, plus colour-coded kit-specific components for ease of handling.
Prospect tests are quick and easy to perform, giving sensitive and specific results for the majority of causes of gastroenteritis.
