ATHENS, Ohio--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Diagnostic HYBRIDS announces the release of its D3 IFA Enterovirus Identification Kit for the qualitative identification of enteroviruses in cell culture by immunofluorescence. The kit, for in vitro diagnostic use, utilizes a blend of monoclonal antibodies developed in-house. These antibodies target enterovirus-specific antigens produced after a relatively short incubation period in the proprietary enterovirus cell system called Super E-Mix™, or conventional cells such as primary monkey kidney cells. The D3 kit represents a product design improvement on current identification protocols that employ a non-specific, cellular induced protein that is not induced specifically by enteroviruses. When combined with the patented Diagnostic HYBRIDS Super E-Mix™ cell culture system, positive results can be obtained and confirmed in as little as 16 hours from all specimen types.
