FAQ:
No, we would not recommend freezing ImmuLex™ products. SSI Diagnostica Group cannot guarantee that these products will continue to meet their specificity and sensitivity as well as performance requirements after being frozen.
No. ImmuLex™ products are supplied for direct use. They should not be diluted further, as this will affect their performance.
All SSI Diagnostica Group products should be used according to the Instructions for Use. Using a volume other than specified in the IFU may result in weak agglutination or false-positive / false-negative reactions.
