Fact or Myth: Is rapid slide agglutination enough for definitive febrile antigen testing? π§«π¬
The Myth: A positive rapid slide agglutination result alone provides a complete diagnostic picture for febrile infections.
The Fact: Slide testing is an essential, high-speed screening tool, but follow-up tube agglutination is required to establish quantitative antibody titres and monitor infection progression.
The Biorex Diagnostics Febrile Antigen Range (covering Salmonella, Brucella, and Proteus suspensions) provides a complete two-step testing workflow:
β‘ Rapid Slide Agglutination: Delivers clear, visual qualitative results in minutes for high-throughput screening.
π§ͺ Tube Agglutination: Confirms screen-positive samples with semi-quantitative antibody titration.
