During the Widal Test

Our trained technicians will visit your home to collect the sample. They follow strict safety protocols and NABL standards during blood collection. They wear masks and gloves and use new sterile kits. The technician will insert a needle into a vein, usually in the arm to draw a small amount of blood. The whole process is quick and efficient and will be done within 3-5 minutes.

The normal values and reference ranges of the test may vary from lab to lab. Please refer to the ranges mentioned in the report and consult a doctor to understand the interpretation of lab reports.

If the antibody against the bacteria is present within the patient’s serum, it'll react with the respective antigen within the reagent and provide visible agglutination (clumping) on the test slide. The highest dilution of the patient’s blood sample that provides a clear agglutination with the Widal test antigen suspensions is that of the antibody titre.
