We offer a wide range of products for the detection of infections caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi, protozoa and parasites. The methods range from nucleic acid amplification tests, ELISAs and rapid tests to indirect and direct immunofluorescence for various sample materials. The subgroups are divided according to method / technology.
The latest "highlights" are molecular tests that do not require a separate clean room (PCR room). Here we offer the following products from Meridian Bioscience:
Our product range includes both serological antibody and direct antigen determinations.
Serological or direct antigen determinations of infectious diseases are a non-invasive alternative and have many advantages, such as:
Together with our partner companies, we offer you high-quality, user-friendly ELISAs for the following parameters:
Whooping cough (pertussis) is a highly contagious bacterial respiratory tract infection caused by Bordetella pertussis - Gram-negative bacilli. Pertussis usually occurs in children with paroxysmal convulsions with a severe cough. Coughing and post-tussive vomiting last for several weeks.
The disease leads to high morbidity and mortality, especially in children.
The SeroPertussis™ product line from Savyon Dagnostics uses the purified Bordetella pertussis extract, enriched with PT (pertussis toxin) and FHA (filamentous hemagglutinin) as antigen for the detection of specific antibodies against Bordetella pertussis in human serum.
SeroPertussis™ IgG is a semi-quantitative assay with 3 ready-to-use calibrators - P10, P50, P100 - to calculate the standard curve, from which the O.D. (optical density) is evaluated as BU / ml.
SeroPertussis IgA / IgM is a qualitative assay for the flexible detection of IgA and / or IgM antibodies.

The new SeroPertussis™ Toxin ELISAs from Savyon Diagnostics are quantitative detection kits for IgG and IgA antibodies against the pertussis toxin. The results are reported in international units / ml (IU / ml). The kits were designed according to the recently issued recommendations of the EU Reference Laboratories, the WHO standard calibrators were used for standardized quantification. (1.2)
In the SeroPertussis™ Toxin Tests, purified pertussis toxin is used as the antigen. These are specific to B. pertussis antibodies and do not cross-react with B. parapertussis.

The most common A-pathogenic agents associated with respiratory infections (RTI) and “community acquired pneumonia” (CAP) are Chlamydophila pneumoniae and Mycoplasma pneumoniae. Both pathogens are widespread and cause severe pneumonia infections in children and adolescents.Savyon Diagnostics offers very sensitive and species-specific ELISAs for the determination of antibodies against Chlamydophila pneumoniae and Mycoplasma pneumoniae.
SeroCP ™ Quant is a second generation test for the semi-quantitative identification of Chlamydophila pneumoniae IgG and IgA antibodies. The test uses 3 calibrators - P10, P50, P100 - included in the kit to generate a standard curve. The sample OD's (optical density) are evaluated using a standard curve in BU / ml units. The test protocol makes it possible to calculate the kinetics of the IgG and IgA antibodies in the paired sera in order to better diagnose the status of the infection.

SeroMP ™ Recombinant Kits are the new semi-quantitative ELISA kits for the identification of Mycoplasma penumoniae IgG and IgA antibodies based on a recombinant antigen and IgM based on a combination of native and recombinant antigen. With the use of recombinant antigens, increased specificity for Mycoplasma pneumoniae is achieved without losing sensitivity. Borderline results are significantly reduced, making it easier to differentiate between healthy and diseased populations.

Chlamydia trachomatis is a very common bacterium that causes sexually transmitted infections. If these infections are not diagnosed or treated, they can lead to serious chronic inflammation with serious complications.
Savyon Diagnostics offers very sensitive and species-specific ELISA kits for the determination of antibodies against Chlamydia trachomatis:
SeroCT™ is the first ELISA test - for the detection of C. trachomatis antibodies - based on C. trachomatis species-specific peptides as antigens. The peptides in the kits originate from Chlamydia species-specific immunodominant proteins. These proteins share sequences with all C. trachomatis serogroups and have no homology with other Chlamydia species.
SeroCT™ offers high sensitivity and specificity in the identification of IgG and IgA anti-Chlamydia antibodies and enables a complete diagnosis of acute, past and chronic infections. No cross-reactions were observed specifically with C. pneumoniae.
SeroCT™ Assay results are calculated as Cut Off Index (COI) values that allow comparison between results. A conversion table can be used to semiquantify the results as end-point titer from the cut-off index.

Background:
Streptococcus pyogenes is a beta-hemolytic gram-positive cocci that has about 80 serogroups, of which M1 and M3 are the most common. A non-invasive GAS causes tonsillitis (pharyngitis) or skin infections (impetigo, erysipelas, phlegmon).
A prophage β virus infected streptococcal bacterium can produce pyrogenic streptococcal exotoxin (PSE). This occurs in serotypes A, B, C and F and is responsible e.g. for the following diseases: scarlet fever, streptococcal-induced toxic shock syndrome (STSS), necrotizing fasciitis. Serious immunological sequelae such as rheumatoid fiber, reactive arthritis and glomerulonephritis can develop.
Transmission is transmitted from person to person through contact with the nasal or throat mucus or wound.
Diagnosis:
The following methods are used in laboratory diagnostics to detect GAS. Traditional culture method that shows a fairly high (around 10%) false negative rate. It needs a confirmation test to precisely identify the germ. There are also direct antigen rapid tests with sensitivities of 80-90% and highly sensitive nucleic acid amplification determinations.
Meridian offers the Alethia® Group A Streptococcus Molecular Test, which is the only FDA-cleared molecular amplification test for Group A Streptococcus in throat swabs. The target is a conserved 206 base pair sequence in the S. pyogenes pyrogenic exotoxin B (speB) region.
With a high sensitivity of 98% and specificity of 97.7%, this test gives the following advantages:
