Mononucleosis test kit IML-50

for serologyfor antibodiesserum

Infectious Mononucleosis Latex Test (IML) is used for the qualitative and semi‐ quantitative determination of human heterophile antibodies associated with Infectious Mononucleosis (IM). Number of Tests: 50 tests Testing Procedure: Manual Storage Temperature: 2‐8°C Results: Qualitative Test: Positive: Agglutination indicates the presence of the heterophile antibody associated with IM. Negative: Lack of agglutination indicates the absence of the heterophile antibody associated with IM. Semi‐quantitative test: The titer of IM heterophile antibody is the reciprocal of the highest dilution that exhibits a positive reaction. An increase in IM heterophile agglutination titer may be clinically significant in early stages of the disease and may assist in the diagnosis of IM. Limitations of Procedure: A diagnosis of IM should not be made on the basis of a positive test result without support of patient history and hematological or other clinical evidence. Similarly, a negative test result cannot completely rule out IM. Incubation of the test longer than the recommended time or microbial contamination may cause false positive results.
