INTENDED USE
For the quantitative determination of antibody to streptolysin O (ASO) in patient serum based on immunoturbidimetric assay as an aid in the diagnosis of Group A streptococcus infections.
FOR IN VITRO DIAGNOSTIC USE.

REAGENT PREPARATION
The reagents are ready to use and do not require reconstitution.

STORAGE AND HANDLING
All reagents should be stored refrigerated (2-8°C).  Return all reagents to 2-8°C promptly after use.  Unopened reagents can be used for one year from the date of manufacture, as indicated by the expiration date on the package and bottle labels.  Opened reagents can be used for one month if stored at 2-8°C.

PERFORMANCE
Precision
When a sample is assayed 20 times, the CV is ≤ 5%.
