Tuberculosis Rapid Test
REF: SC-0739-40
Rapid test for the qualitative detection of anti-TB antibodies (IgG, IgM and IgA isotypes) in whole blood, serum or plasma samples. The Rapid Tuberculosis Test (Whole Blood/Serum/Plasma) is a qualitative, solid phase, direct, two-site immunoassay for the detection of anti-TB antibodies in whole blood, serum or plasma samples. The membrane is pre-coated with recombinant TB antigen on the line in the test region of the media. During the test, anti-TB antibodies, if present in the whole blood, serum or plasma sample, react with the particles coated with recombinant TB antigen. The compound migrates upwards on the membrane chromatographically by capillary action reacting with the recombinant TB antigen on the membrane and generates a colored line. The presence of this colored line in the test area indicates a positive result, while its absence indicates a negative result. As a procedural control, a line will always appear in the test control zone, indicating that the correct volume of specimen has been used and that the membrane has been soaked.
