Febrile Antigen Slide and Tube Agglutination

23 August, 2021

"Febrile antigens are stained bacterial suspensions that can be used either as a screening test, (rapid slide agglutinating procedure) or as a confirmatory test (tube agglutination) to verify positive results found by the rapid slide method.” Febrile antigen tests have been a reliable source of diagnosis since the beginning of the last century. As time has moved on, these tests have adapted and become more effective and reliable, making them an in demand product around the world. Fortress Diagnostics are devoted to improving global health care by offering testing solutions and are rigorously analyzing and improving the febrile antigen tests we offer.

Using the febrile antigen slide agglutinating assay, antibodies from diseases such as Brucella, Rose Bengal and Salmonella can be tested for using human sera. If these antibodies are found, a febrile antigen tube agglutination assay must be carried out as confirmation of the diagnosis, also using human sera. Rapid and accurate febrile antigen testing is essential for early diagnosis. A prompt, accurate result allows the medical professional to be certain in their diagnosis and provides time for the treatment to begin. The earlier treatment is offered, the less likely long term symptoms of the disease will be felt.

Fortress Diagnostics have a wide range of febrile antigen tests available, including both screening and confirmation assays. These tests are cost-effective and reliable. Febrile antigen slide agglutinating tests have rapid result times. They are easily stored in 2 - 8 ºC. Fortress Diagnostics also offer febrile antigen testing kits in a range of sizes to suit all customers. Please see below for the full product list.
