Streptococcus Group A (HRP)

Store product at 4 degree C if to be used immediately within two weeks. For long-term storage, aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing and store at -20 degree C. Aliquots are stable at -20 degree C for 12 months after receipt. Dilute required amount only prior to immediate use. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer. Note: Sodium azide is a potent inhibitor of peroxidase and should not be added to HRP conjugates.

Recognizes Streptococcus Group A. No immunological crossreactivity with other Streptococcus Groups. There is potential non-specific crossreactivity with other organisms such as Streptococcus Group C and Staphyloccus due to the presence of Protein A like proteins (Staphyloccus) and Protein C (Streptococcus C) present on the intact surface of these bacteria. These proteins bind any immunoglobulin.
