Q: Using the Leptospirosis IHA kit can the infecting serovar be determined?
A: The test does not identify down
to the species level. It is designed for Genus specific detection using a broadly
cross-reactive species for the antigen source.
Q: The
Leptospirosis IHA kit always comes with warning labels that say store upright. Why is
this?
A: The cells are bottled in small
vials in buffer. When the vials are accidentally stored in a non-upright position the
pelleted cells may no longer be in contact with the buffer. The cells may then be damaged. |
