InvictDetect™ Plus ImmunoStrip®
The InvictDetect™ Plus ImmunoStrip® is used to identify the red imported fire ant, Solenopsis invicta, by detection of the Soli2 protein; the black imported fire ant, Solenopsis richteri, by detection of the Solr2 protein; and Solenopsis invicta × richteri hybrids. The test is appropriate for testing a pooled sample containing five (5) worker ants. This protocol is not intended for individual ant testing. ImmunoStrips® are the perfect screening tool for use in the field, greenhouse, and the lab.
