We are the Leading Supplier of Abbe Refractometer Rajdhani. In the Abbe'' refractometer the liquid sample is sandwiched into a thin layer between an illuminating prism and a refracting prism. The refracting prism is made of a glass with a high refractive index (e.g., 1.75) and the refractometer is designed to be used with samples having a refractive index smaller than that of the refracting prism. A light source is projected through the illuminating prism, the bottom surface of which is ground (i.e., roughened like a ground-glass joint), so each point on this surface can be thought of as generating light rays traveling in all directions. A detector placed on the back side of the refracting prism would show a light and a dark region. Over a century after Abbe''s work, the usefulness and precision of refractometers has improved, although their principle of operation has changed very little. They are also possibly the easiest device to use for measuring the refractive index of solid samples, such as glass, plastics, and polymer films. Some modern Abbe refractometers use a digital display for measurement, eliminating the need for discerning between small graduations. However, the user still has to adjust the view to get a final reading. The first truly digital laboratory refractometers began appearing in the late 1970s and early 1980s, and no longer depended on the user''s eye to determine the reading. They still required the use of circulating water baths to control instrument and fluid temperature. They did, however, have the ability to electronically compensate for the temperature differences of many fluids where there is a known concentration-to-refractive-index conversion. Most digital laboratory refractometers, while much more accurate and versatile than their analog Abbe counterparts, are incapable of readings on solid samples. In the late 1990s, Abbe refractometers became available with the capability of measurements at wavelengths other than the standard 589 nanometers. These instruments use special filters to reach the desired wavelength, and can extend measurements well into the near infrared (though a special viewer is required to see the infrared rays). Multi-wavelength Abbe refractometers can be used to easily determine a sample''s Abbe number.

Buy AccuTest Typhoid IgG/IgM Rapid Card Test (5 Tests) Online from Accurex. The Typhoid IgG/IgM Rapid Test is used for detection & differentiation of anti-Salmonella typhi (S. typhi) IgG and IgM in human whole blood / serum / plasma. This Typhoid test is used as a screening test and as an aid in the diagnosis of infection with S. typhi. Salmonella typhi bacteria causes typhoid Typhoid fever, typhoid symptoms symptoms are likely to develop gradually – appearing one to three weeks after exposure to the disease. There are various typhoid treatment & typhoid vaccine which can be opted after the detetction of Typhoid. Typhoid fever is caused by S. typhi, a Gram-negative bacterium. Worldwide an estimated 17 million cases and 600,000 associated deaths occur annually. Patients who are infected with HIV are at significantly increased risk of clinical infection with S. typhi. Evidence of H. pylori infection also presents an increased risk of acquiring typhoid fever. 1-5% of patients become chronic carrier harboring S. typhi in the gall bladder. The clinical diagnosis of typhoid fever depends on the isolation of S. typhi from blood, bone marrow or a specific anatomic lesion. In the facilities that can not afford to perform this complicated and time-consuming procedure, Filix-Widal test is used to facilitate the diagnosis. However, many limitations lead to difficulties in the interpretation of the Widal test. In contrast, the Typhoid IgG/IgM Rapid Test is a simple and rapid laboratory test. The test simultaneously detects and differentiates the IgG and the IgM antibodies to S. typhi specific antigen thus to aid in the determination of current or previous exposure to the S. typhi. PRINCIPLE The Typhoid IgG/IgM Rapid Test is a lateral flow immunochromatographic assay. The test cassette consists of: 1) a pink-purple colored conjugate pad containing recombinant S. typhi H antigen and O antigen conjugated with colloid gold (Typhoid conjugates) and rabbit IgG-gold conjugates, 2) a nitrocellulose membrane strip containing two test region (Test line M and G) and a control region (control line). The test line ‘M’ is pre-coated with monoclonal anti-human IgM for the detection of IgM anti-S. typhi, test line ‘G’ is pre-coated with monoclonal anti-human IgG for the detection of IgG anti-S. typhi , and the C band is pre-coated with goat anti rabbit IgG. When an adequate volume of test specimen is dispensed into the sample well of the cassette, the test specimen migrates by capillary action across the test cassette. Anti-S. typhi IgM if present in the patient specimen will bind to the Typhoid conjugates. The immunocomplex is then captured on the membrane by the pre-coated anti-human IgM antibody at test region ‘M’, forming a pink-purple line at ‘M’ region, indicating a S. typhi IgM positive test result. Anti-S. typhi IgG if present in the patient specimen will bind to the Typhoid conjugates. The immunocomplex is then captured by the pre-coated reagents on the membrane, forming a pink-purple line at test region ‘G’, indicating a S. typhi IgG positive test result. Absence of any pink-purple line at test region (M and G) suggests a negative result. The test contains an internal control (control line) which should exhibit a pink-purple line of the immunocomplex of goat anti rabbit IgG/rabbit IgG-gold conjugate regardless of the color development on any of the test region. Otherwise, the test result is invalid and the specimen must be retested with another device. PRECAUTION 1. This package insert must be read completely before performing the test. Failure to follow the insert gives inaccurate test results. 2. Do not open the sealed pouch, unless ready to conduct the assay. 3. Do not use expired devices. 4.

H Pylori test provides an aid in the diagnosis of infection with H.pylori. H.pylori is implicated in the etiology of a variety of gastrointestinal diseases, including duodenal and gastric ulcer, non-ulcer dyspepsia and active and chronic gastritis. h pylori symptoms are an ache or burning pain in your stomach (abdomen), Nausea, Loss of appetite, Frequent burping, Bloating & Unintentional weight loss NTENDED USE The H.pylori Antibody Rapid Test Card is a lateral flow chromatographic immunoassay for the qualitative detection of antibodies to H.pylori in human Whole Blood/Serum/Plasma. It provides an aid in the diagnosis of infection with H.pylori. INTRODUCTION H.pylori is implicated in the etiology of a variety of gastrointestinal diseases, including duodenal and gastric ulcer, non-ulcer dyspepsia and active and chronic gastritis. H.pylori infection is found in more than 90% of duodenal ulcer patients and in around 75% of all peptic ulcer sufferers. H.pylori infection is also more common in gastric cancer patients. The risk of gastric cancer has been estimated to be six-fold higher in H.pylori infected populations than in uninfected populations. H.pylori infections occur in human populations throughout the world. In developed countries, about 50% of the population may have H.pylori infection by the age of 60 years, while only 10-20% of adults in the third decade of life have it. Transmission is most probably by the fecal-oral or oral-oral route. Both invasive and non-invasive methods are used to diagnose H.pylori infection in patients with symptoms of gastrointestinal disease. Invasive methods include culture of gastric biopsy samples, histologic examination of stained biopsy specimens, or direct detection of the urease activity in the biopsy (CLO test). These methods need to obtain a biopsy sample by endoscopy.which is expensive,and usually results discomfort and risk to the patient.noninasive techniques include urea breath tests and serological methods. Urea breath test requires expensive laboratory equipment and moderate radiation exposure. Serologic tests are employed to detect antibodies as human immune response to H.pylori, for example the ELISA and the Western immunoblot. The H.pylori Antibody Rapid Test Card detect antibodies to H.pylori infection in human Whole Blood/Serum/Plasma. It is a noninvasive method and does not use radioactive isotopes. The test is easy to perform and requires no specialized equipment. Visual interpretation provides an accurate qualitative result. It is a useful on-site aid in the diagnosis of H.pylori infection. Diagnosis of H.pylori infection by antibody immunoassay can reduce the number of patients requiring endoscopy. PRINCIPLE The H.pylori Antibody Rapid Test Card is an immunoassay based on the principle of the double antigen-sandwich technique. During testing, a Whole Blood/Serum/Plasma specimen migrates upward by capillary action. The antibodies to H.pylori if present in the specimen will bind to the H.pylori conjugates. The immune complex is then captured on the membrane by the pre-coated H.pylori antigens, and a visible pink-purple line will show up in the test line region indicating a positive result. If antibodies to H.pylori are not present or are present below the detectable level, a pink-purple line will not form in the test line region indicating a negative result. To serve as a procedural control, a pink-purple line will always appear at the control line region, indicating that proper volume of specimen has been added and membrane wicking has occurred. Safety Information The H.pylori Antibody Rapid Test Card is limited to provide a qualitative detection. The intensity of the test line does not necessarily correlate to the concentration of the antibody in the blood. x The results obtained from this test are intended to be an aid in diagnosis only. Each physician must interpret the results in conjunction with the patient’s history, physical findings, and other diagnostic procedures. x A negative test result indicates that antibodies to H.pylori are either not present or at levels undetectable by the test. Direction for Use TEST PROCEDURE 1. Remove the test cassette from the sealed pouch and use it as soon as possible. 2. Place the test cassette on a clean and level surface. 3.
