Hardy Diagnostics E. coliPRO™ O157 Latex Kit is a rapid latex agglutination test designed for the presumptive identification of Escherichia coli serogroup O157 directly from colonies isolated on culture media. This rapid test enables confirmation of E. coli O157 strains in as little as two minutes, providing a fast, reliable tool for routine pathogen screening in food, water, environmental, and clinical laboratories.

The E. coliPRO™ O157 Latex Kit uses proprietary latex particles coated with specific antibodies that react with the E. coli O157 antigen, minimizing false positives and cross-reactivity with non-target species such as Escherichia hermanii or other sorbitol-negative E. coli strains.

This kit includes both positive and negative controls, allowing for full test validation and confidence in results. With a two-year shelf life, the E. coliPRO™ kit is an economical and dependable choice for high-throughput laboratories that require rapid, on-demand verification of culture results.
