The EY-20™ Reagent Tubes are a component of the Strep-A-Chek™ kit (Cat. No: 13-050-00) and are to be used with Strep-A-Chek™ Reagent Strips. 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. EY-20™ Reagent Tubes contain a color developer, which when used with the Strep-A-Chek™ Reagent Strips detect pyrrolidonyl arylamidase (PYR), an enzyme 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. The Strep-A-Chek™ test system, when used in conjunction with other tests such as CAMP, hippurate, and bile-esculin, may be used for the presumptive identification of streptococci or enterococci from any source.
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.
