In today's busy routine microbiology laboratory, consolidation of testing services is increasingly widespread. A common issue is multiple laboratories conducting testing, that may require repeat testing at a reference site for confirmation, epidemiology or legal reasons. The full serological identification of Salmonella isolates falls into this category.

An extensive independent market survey has been carried out for Pro-Lab Diagnostics, established for many years as a manufacturer and supplier of high quality sera for Salmonella, Shigella, and E.coli.

It concluded that although full serological testing may not be required for all species in all laboratories, certain serotypes still require bench level identification in all routine microbiology laboratories. These include:

Serotype Salmonella typhi 9, 12, Vi, d Salmonella typhimurium 4, 5, 12, i, 2 Salmonella enteritidis 9, 12, gm, 7

As economy, performance and reliability remain the key, Pro-Lab Diagnostics is pleased to introduce:

"The Bakers Dozen." 13 selected antisera to cover the full identification of all of the above.

All sera are supplied in 3ml volumes with long shelf lives up to 3 years from date of manufacture.
