Abstract:
We compared the performance of Rotazyme II with protein-stabilized diluent to standard Rotazyme II and to direct electron microscopy, for the detection of rotavirus. Sensitivity and specificity were: standard Rotazyme II, 79 and 100%, respectively; Rotazyme II with protein stabilizers, both 100%, and electron microscopy, 75 and 100%, respectively. Commercial availability of this product should improve rotavirus detection for laboratories utilizing Rotazyme II methodology.
