Scrub Typhus (Tsutsugamushi) IGM and IGG Card

Product Details :

Intended Use:

• Scrub Typhus (Tsutsugamushi) IgM & IgG Card is a rapid solid phase immuno-chromatographic assay for the qualitative and differential detection of IgM and IgG antibodies to Scrub Typhus antibodies in human serum / plasma. This test is for in vitro diagnostic use only and is intended as an aid to early diagnosis of Scrub Typhus infection in patient with clinical symptoms.

Salient Features:

• Rapid ,visual and qualitative Immunoassay.
• Differential detection of IgM & IgG antiobodies to Scrub Typhus (Tsutsugamushi) in Human Serum / Plasma.
• Based on Immunochromatography Technique.
• See through device for easy interpretation of results.

Principle:

• Scrub Typhus (Tsutsugamushi) IgM & IgG Card test device contains three lines; “C” (Control line), “M” (IgM test line) & “G” (IgG test line). IgM test line is coated with anti-human IgM and IgG test line is coated with anti-human IgG. When a sample is added to the sample
• well of the device followed by two drops of buffer in the buffer well, IgM and IgG antibodies in the sample reacts with anti-human IgM and anti-human IgG antibodies coated on the membrane respectively. If the sample contain Scrub Typhus (Tsutsugamushi) antibodies,
• colloidal gold conjugate containing Scrub Typhus antigens is captured by the bound anti-Tsutsugamushi IgM &/or IgG on respective test bands forming a pale to dark red band at the IgM &/or IgG region of the test device. The intensity of the test bands in the device will vary
• depending upon the amount of antibodies present in the sample. The appearance of any pink/red colour in a specific test region should be considered as positive for that particular antibody type (IgM or IgG). A red procedural control line should always develop in the test device window to indicate that the test has been performed properly.
