ImmuLex™ Pneumotest kit
The ImmuLex™ Pneumotest kit consists of the latex reagents pools A-I and P-Q and 50 reaction cards. By testing all 14 pools and using the chessboard system described, it is possible to identify the 23 vaccine serotypes to type/group level. Traditional or latex-coupled factor antisera can then be used for full serotyping.
