SAFETY DATA SHEET
STAPHYLASE TEST
DR0595
The generally accepted identifying characteristic of Staphylococcus
aureus is the ability to produce free and bound coagulase (or clumping
factor). The presence of clumping factor may be detected in a number
of ways. The Oxoid Staphylase Test detects the presence of clumping
factor through clumping of fibrinogen-sensitized sheep red blood cells.
The specificity of the reaction is ensured by a simultaneous test with a
control reagent (unsensitized sheep red blood cells), when of course no
clumping reaction should be observed.
