FLOCKSCREEN™ Mycoplasma Gallisepticum Kits
x-OvO Limited is pleased to announce the launch of the FLOCKSCREEN™ Mycoplasma gallisepticum (MG) Slide Agglutination Test Kit.
The use of slide agglutination testing to demonstrate an immunological response to mycoplasma spp infections is one of the cornerstones of global poultry health control programmes. Consistency of results together with an ability to interpret those results relative to well defined positive and negative controls is one of the critical factors that influence the diagnostic power of the test.
Each kit contains a 10 ml (400 tests) presentation of FLOCKSCREEN™ Mycoplasma gallisepticum stained antigen together with individual vials of 0.1ml lyophylised positive and negative control sera. The antigen and control sera were developed from mycoplasma master seed cultures exclusively for x-OvO Limited by IZS Venezie, Legnaro, Italy. x-OvO Limited has applied proprietary staining technologies to purified antigen bulks to produce a class leading product. For the first time, veterinary diagnostic laboratories can obtain control sera developed specifically and certified for use with each individual kit, thus facilitating more accurate test interpretation and results comparison within and between individual kits.
Treatment of test sera and positive controls with the stained antigen leads to a clear positive staining reaction that starts to appear after 1 minute but becomes fully formed after the full 2 minute incubation period (shown below).
The product specifications include the ability to detect MG positives down to a minimum dilution of 1: 128.
