Infectious Mononucleosis Latex Test (IML) is used for the qualitative and semi‐ quantitative determination of human heterophile antibodies associated with Infectious Mononucleosis (IM).
 
SPECIFICATION
Brand: Teco Diagnostics
Cat.No.: IML-50
Applications: for mononucleosis
Application field: for serology
Tested parameter: for antibodies
Sample type: serum, clinical
Analysis mode: for latex agglutination
Number of Tests: 50 tests
Testing Procedure: Manual
Storage Temperature: 2‐8°C
Qualitative Test:
Positive: Agglutination indicates the presence of the heterophile antibody associated with IM.
Negative: Lack of agglutination indicates the absence of the heterophile antibody associated with IM.
Semi‐quantitative test: The titer of IM heterophile antibody is the reciprocal of the highest dilution that exhibits a positive reaction. An increase in IM heterophile agglutination titer may be clinically significant in early stages of the disease and may assist in the diagnosis of IM.
Limitations of Procedure: A diagnosis of IM should not be made on the basis of a positive test result without support of patient history and hematological or other clinical evidence. Similarly, a negative test result cannot completely rule out IM.

Incubation of the test longer than the recommended time or microbial contamination may cause false positive results.
