A reference radioassay for vitamin B12 in serum, in which human serum is used as binder and DEAEcellulose is used to separate free and bound B12, was compared (194 sera) with a packaged kit (“Phadebas B12 Test”), in which intrinsic factor is used as binder and poiysaccharide for separation. The correlation coefficient was 0.949. With the kit, added B12 was identifiable, proportional dilution ch...

Various brands of covid 19 RNA detection kits are widely used by testing laboratories. One these is the Zeesan SARS COV-2 Test Kit. The kit cannot be to detect porcine DNA. There has been no official research on use optimized for DNA detection, thus optimization Kit a new innovation in molecular testing. purpose this study was find right combination between and primer-probe. Then look appropria...

cystic hydatid disease (hydatidosis) is the most serious tape-worm infection prevalent in the cattle and sheep raising area of the world. hydatidosis in man (as an accidental host) caused by infection with the ova containing larval stage of echinococcus spp. in the last decade different techniques have been employed for the serological diagnosis of hydatid disease, such as iha, ifa, elisa, ccle...

Early diagnosis is important for clinical management of dengue disease. While classic laboratory tests are often tedious and time consuming, point of care devices offer a rapid, cost-effective and user-friendly alternative provided their accuracy is acceptable. This study evaluated the sensitivity, specificity and efficiency of SD BIOLINE Dengue Duo® rapid NS1, IgM and IgG test kit for diagnosi...

The Uni-Yeast-Tek system, a commercially prepared kit and scheme for the rapid identification of medically important yeasts (Corning Medical), was evaluated in comparison with a conventional procedure in the identification of 623 yeasts. The system permitted the presumptive identification of 99.8% of 436 isolates representing 16 common species commonly isolated in the clinical laboratory. Corre...

In this paper we consider a kit planning problem where demand occurrences are not for individual items, but for kits (a group of items). Each kit contains an arbitrary number of items. Kit demands occur according to a Poisson process. Whenever a kit demand occurs, only one item from the kit is used and the rest is returned as unused. The item that will be used from the kit is not known in advan...

Serologic evaluation for the diagnosis of Lyme disease has been confounded by several factors, including a high prevalence of clinically normal dogs testing seropositive, persistence of antibodies, and the introduction of vaccines that will induce antibodies detectable by immunofluorescent antibody assay, whole-cell ELISA, and Western blot assay. The utility of a commercially available in-offic...

A number of different culture media have been described for use in the diagnosis of Tritrichomonas foetus infection in bulls, and recently, a commercial culture kit has become available. The objective of this study was to compare the sensitivity of 2 culture-based diagnostic tests for T. foetus in bulls. One test used a commercial kit for transport and culture of the samples. The other test use...
