Product Description
The Biorex Diagnostics Weil-Felix Test is a rapid slide agglutination assay designed for the qualitative and semi-quantitative detection of antibodies produced in response to Rickettsial infections. Utilizing Proteus OX19, OX2, and OXK stained febrile antigen suspensions, this test provides a reliable and practical method for the early identification of typhus, spotted fever, and scrub typhus. Its simple and rapid procedure makes it ideal for clinical laboratories, hospitals, diagnostic centres, and public health settings where timely detection and patient management are critical.
Key Features
- High sensitivity and specificity – detects antibodies against multiple clinically significant Rickettsial pathogens.
- Rapid visual results – clear agglutination visible within minutes, allowing fast interpretation.
- Semi-quantitative capability – enables titre estimation to monitor disease progression, response to therapy, and convalescence.
- Versatile sample use – compatible with human serum and plasma for routine, diagnostic, and follow-up testing.
- Cost-effective and ready-to-use – suitable for large-scale screening, epidemiological studies, and public health surveillance programmes.
Benefits
Routine use of the Weil-Felix Test allows healthcare providers to detect abnormal antibody responses efficiently, supporting early diagnosis, timely intervention, and effective patient management. Its ready-to-use format eliminates preparation errors, simplifies workflow, and ensures consistent, reproducible results. The semi-quantitative capability provides clinicians with valuable information on antibody titres, assisting in the monitoring of infection progression or recovery.
Beyond individual patient care, the Weil-Felix Test is an essential tool for public health authorities and epidemiologists. It enables rapid outbreak monitoring, early identification of Rickettsial epidemics, and guidance for disease prevention and control initiatives. By integrating this assay into standard laboratory protocols, clinical teams can enhance diagnostic accuracy, support efficient laboratory operations, and improve patient outcomes. Its combination of speed, reliability, and clinical relevance makes it indispensable for hospital laboratories, diagnostic centres, and research facilities focused on infectious disease surveillance and Rickettsial infection management.
