DEEPBLUE One Step Typhoid IgG/IgM Rapid Test Kit

Intended use

Test principle

The Typhoid IgG/IgM Test is a qualitative membrane strip based immunoassay for the detection of Typhoid antibodies (IgG and IgM) in Serum / Plasma. When an adequate volume of test specimen is dispensed into the sample well of the test cassette, the specimen migrates by capillary action across the cassette. IgM anti-Typhoid, if present in the specimen, will bind to the Typhoid conjugates. The immunocomplex is then captured by the reagent pre-coated on the T2 band, forming a burgundy colored T2 band, indicating a Typhoid IgM positive test result and suggesting a fresh infection. IgG anti-Typhoid if present in the specimen will bind to the Typhoid conjugates. The immunocomplex is then captured by the reagent coated on the T1 band, forming a burgundy colored T1 band, indicating a Typhoid IgG positive test result and suggesting a recent or repeat infection. Absence of any T bands (T1 and T2) suggests a negative result. The test contains an internal control (C band) which should exhibit a bu rgundy colored band of the immunocomplex of goat anti rabbit IgG/rabbit IgG-gold conjugate regardless of the color development on any of the T bands. Otherwise, the test result is invalid and the specimen must be retested with another device

Test Procedure

Allow the test device and specimens to equilibrate to room temperature (15-30℃ or 59-86℉) prior to testing.

1. Testing

Place the test device on a clean and level surface. 3. Hold the dropper vertically and transfer   2 drops of specimen (approximately 80μl) to the specimen well(S) of the test device, then add 1 drop of buffer (approximately 40μl) and start the timer.
