Strep-A-Chek™ Reagent Strips are paper strips impregnated with a chromogenic substrate for the detection of pyrrolidonyl arylamidase (PYR), an enzyme reported to be present in Group A beta-hemolytic Streptococcus. The PYR enzyme has been shown to be accurate in differentiating Group A streptococci and enterococci from other Streptococcus species. Strep-A-Chek™ kit when used in conjunction with other tests such as CAMP, hippurate, and bile-esculin, may be used for the presumptive identification of beta-hemolytic streptococci or enterococci from any source.Strep-A-Chek™ Reagent Strips are a component of the Strep-A-Chek™ Kit (Cat. No: 13-050-00) and are to be used with EY-20™ Reagent Tubes. They are intended for use in the detection of pyrrolidonyl arylamidase (PYR) from beta-hemolytic colonies grown on blood agar plates, as an aid in the presumptive identification of Group A Streptococcus.
A collection of reagents and other associated materials intended to be used for the qualitative and/or (semi-)quantitative detection of antigens from Group A beta-haemolytic Streptococcus bacteria in a clinical specimen within a short period, relative to standard laboratory testing procedures, using an immunochromatographic test (ICT) method [lateral flow test]. This is a rapid test used in the laboratory or in point-of-care analyses. It is not intended to be used for self-testing.
