The kit components that are made with human serum are tested by a United States Food and Drug Administration (USFDA) licensed method and found to be non-reactive for HIV- 1, HIV-2, Hepatitis B surface antigen, and HCV. Because no test method can offer absolute assurance that these agents are absent, reagents should be handled at the Biosafety Level 2, as recommended for any potentially infectious human blood product, in the United States Center for Disease Control (USCDC) and National Institute of Health (USNIH) manual "Biosafety in Microbiological Laboratories", 1988. All bovine serum products used are derived from animals of US origin, processed in USDA licensed facilities ELISA Wash Concentrate contains Ciprofloxacin HCl. Keep from personnel who have demonstrated a sensitivity to Quinoline based drug products. Females who are, or may be pregnant, should avoid contact with Ciprofloxacin
