Typhoid Rapid Test Kit

ACCUCARE S.typhi-S.paratyphi rapid test is a qualitative one step
immunochromatographic assay. The test employs a conation of
monoclonal antibodycolloidal gold dye conjugate and a polyclonal
antibody immobilized on the solid phase. This will selectively
identify S.typhi-S.paratyphi antigen associated with typhoid
infection with a high degree of sensitivity and specificity.
As the specimen flows through the absorbent pad in the sample
well and through the antibodycolloidal gold complex any S.typhiS.paratyphi
antigen present in the sample binds to the conjugate
forming an antigenantibody complex. The sample and dye complex
continue to migrate along the membrane to the immobilized
monoclonal antibody. In the presence of S.typhi-S.paratyphi, the
monoclonal antibody captures the complex. This forms a visible
pinkpurple band in the (B) or test area of the card. If no antigen is
present, there is no line formation in the (B) area. The remaining
complex continues to migrate to another immobilized antibody on
the membrane in the (C) or Control area of the card, and is
captured which then forms a band indicating proper performance of
the test.
