High sensitivity measurement of nontreponemal antibody in serum and plasma
Enables rapid syphilis testing with plasma sample. Also suitable for non-office hour and emergency testing
Provides quantitative test results by automated testing for objective diagnosis
Mixing unnecessary - Set up reagents and use without mixing. (Mixing required for R2 when first opened)
Use on various automated analyzers
Measurement Principle
IMMUNOTICLES AUTO3 RPR is based on an optical absorbance method using Latex agglutination method.
Polystyrene-latex with nontreponemal antigen* on the surface and nontreponemal antibody in serum form agglutination clump by antigen-antibody reaction. Based on the principle that photometric change by this agglutination reaction relies on nontreponemal antibody value, this reagent measures nontreponemal antibody value in samples from the calibration curve drawn using RPR calibrator.

Measurement unit
QC pooled serum with the result of 1 fold by RPR card test (quantitative test) corresponds to the measurement result of 1.0U with IMMUNOTICLES AUTO3 RPR.
When WHO International Standard is measured, the result holds a relation of 1.0U=1.0IU.
