ViroStat, Inc has recently released a new set of Monoclonal Antibodies to the diarrhea causing toxins produced by the bacterium Clostridium difficle.

Once thought to be the result of aggressive antibiotic therapy in healthcare settings only, it is now more frequently occurring in healthy individuals and is considered by many as an emerging pathogen.

The symptoms are caused by two toxins that the organism produces, Toxin A and Toxin B. ViroStat, Inc. has recently released a new set of Monoclonal Antibodies to each of these toxins.

These valuable tools will aid researchers who are studying the pathogenesis of this organism. These high affinity antibodies can also be used for the rapid detection of toxins directly in stool.

MicrobiologyMicrobiology is the study of microorganisms including protists, prokaryotes, fungi, and, often, viruses. Microorganisms are a useful research tool as genetic vectors and, in immunology, for antibiotic susceptibility testing, cellular biology and genetics. Microorganisms commonly grow readily in incubators with microbial culture media; this can contain chromogenic supplements to differentiate between cell lines. Estimate your culture’s density of microorganisms with colony counters, or screen and select colonies for desirable clones with automated colony pickers. Additionally, equipment is available to monitor environments for the presence of microbes and identify with microbial identification instruments.

Immunology kits and analysis systems often use techniques such as ELISA, radioimmunoassay (RIA) and immunodiffusion assays, Immunohistochemistry, and flow cytometry. Immunologists use equipment such as flow Cytometers, plate readers, plate washers and fluorescent microscopes.
