Description

Includes

Lyophilized C. difficile toxin control reagent (1mL) (cytotoxic titer of >10); Lyophilized C. difficile antitoxin (3mL) (prepared in goats)

Uses a tissue culture format to detect the presence of cytotoxic activity (cell rounding) in fecal specimens and confirms the identification of C. difficile toxin by using specific antitoxin. Developed and Manufactured by TECHLAB, Inc.

Clostridioides difficile produces two toxins, A and B. Toxin B, often referred to as the cytotoxin, is the toxin detected by the tissue culture assay.
