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. Bring all reagents to room temperature (15°C-30°C) before use. 5. Do not use the components in any other type of test kit as a substitute for the components in this kit. 6.

This Rapid HIV test is a visual, solid phase immunochromatographic assay for qualitative in-vitro diagnostic detection of antibodies against HIV-1 and HIV-2 in human serum/plasma. This HIV test may be used as an aid in diagnosis of HIV infection. In the HIV blood test – A reactive result should be confirmed by supplemental testing as part of a validated HIV testing algorithm. INTENDED USE: AccuTest HIV – 1/2 Ab test is a visual, solid phase immunochromatographic assay for qualitative in-vitro diagnostic detection of antibodies against HIV-1 and HIV-2 in human serum/plasma. The product may be used as an aid in diagnosis of HIV infection. A reactive result should be confirmed by supplemental testing as part of a validated HIV testing algorithm. INTRODUCTION: The Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) is a retrovirus that infects cells of the immune system, destroying or impairing their function. The most advanced stage of HIV infection is Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS). The general method of detecting infection with HIV is to observe the presence of antibodies to the virus by an EIA method followed by confirmation with any confirmation method. AccuTest HIV – 1/2 Ab is a simple, visual qualitative test that detects antibodies in human serum/plasma. The test is based on immunochromatography and can give a result within 15 minutes. PRINCIPLE: AccuTest HIV – 1/2 Ab employs chromatographic lateral flow device in a cassette format. Colloidal gold conjugated recombinant antigens (Au-Ag) corresponding to HIV-1 (gp120 + gp41) and HIV-2 (gp-36) are dry-immobilized at the end of nitrocellulose membrane strip. HIV-1 & HIV-2 antigens are bound at the Test Zone (1 & 2) respectively. Goat Anti-Mouse IgG antibodies are bound at the Control Zone(C). When the sample is added, it migrates by capillary diffusion rehydrating the gold conjugate. If there are HIV-1 or HIV-2 antibodies in sample, they will bind with the gold conjugated antigens forming particles. These particles will continue to migrate along the strip until the Test Zone (1 or 2) where they are captured by the HIV-1 or HIV-2 antigens generating a visible purple line. If the specimen contains antibodies to HIV-1, the specimen will bind to the 1 test line and produce line. If specimen contains antibodies to HIV2, the specimen will bind to the 2 test line. If there are no HIV-1 or HIV-2 antibodies in sample, no purple line is formed in the Test Zone. The gold conjugate will continue to migrate alone until it is captured in the Control Zone (C) by the Goat Anti Mouse IgG antibodies aggregating in a purple line, which indicates that the migration of liquid has been successful. The control line must be present for the test to be valid. PRECAUTIONS: 1. For best results, adhere to instructions provided. 2. All specimens should be handled as potentially infectious. 3. The test device is sensitive to humidity as well as heat. 4. Do not use beyond expiration date. 5. Do not use test kit if pouch is damaged or seal is broken. 6. Use test device immediately after removing from the pouch. 7. The components (test device and assay diluents) in this kit have been quality control tested as a standard batch unit. Do not mix components from different lot numbers. 8. The AccuTest HIV – 1/2 Ab Test devices should be stored at 4 to 30 °C. Do not expose the kit to temperature over 30 °C. 9. Specimen with extremely high concentrations of red blood cells, fibrin should be recentrifuged before use. 10. AccuTest HIV – 1/2 Ab Test Device (Serum/Plasma) is for in vitro diagnostic use only. 11. AccuTest HIV – 1/2 Ab Test Device (Serum/Plasma) will only indicate the presence of antibodies to HIV-1/2 in the specimen and should not be used as the sole criteria for the diagnosis of HIV-1, HIV-2, and/or HIV-1 subtype O infection. 12. For confirmation of reactive test results, specimens should undergo further testing using different assays, such as rapid diagnostic tests, EIA and/or Western blotting in accordance with a validated HIV testing algorithm. 13. As with all diagnostic tests, all results must be interpreted together with other clinical information available to the physician. 14. Results should not be used to determine the serotype of HIV infections TEST PROCEDURE: 1. Allow the test device, buffer and specimen to reach room temperature (15-30 °C) prior to testing. 2. Remove the test device from the foil pouch and use the test device as soon as possible (within one hour). 3. Place the device on a flat, dry surface. Label with specimen ID. 4.

Hepatitis C symptoms are fever, fatigue, decreased appetite, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, dark urine, pale feces, joint pain and jaundice. HCV test is a rapid Chromatographic Immunoassay work on principle of the double antigen sandwich technique, Qualitative detection of antibodies generated against proteins that are encoded by conserved sequence of core NS3, NS4, NS5 parts of HCV genome in human whole blood/serum or plasma. AccuTest HCV Test is a rapid Chromatographic Immunoassay for the Qualitative detection of antibodies generated against proteins that are encoded by conserved sequence of core NS3, NS4, NS5 parts of HCV genome in human whole blood/serum or plasma. Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) is a small, enveloped, positive-sense, single-stranded RNA virus. Antibody to HCV is found in over 80% of patients with well documented non-A, non-B hepatitis. Conventional methods fail to isolate the virus in cell culture or visualize it by electron microscope. Cloning the viral genome has made it possible to develop serologic assays that use recombinant antigen, multiple antigens using recombinant protein and/or synthetic peptides have been added in new serologic tests to avoid nonspecific cross-reactivity to increase the sensitivity of HCV antibody tests. Storage and Stability: AccuTest HCV should be stored at 4-30C. However, the card may be stored at room temperature not exceeding 30C in the original sealed pouch. Test Procedure: 1. Allow the test, specimen and or control to room temperature prior to the testing 2. Remove one test card from the pouch and place it on a clean flat surface 3.

If negative or quest Principle: AccuTest HCV Rapid Hepatitis C Virus Test (Serum/Plasma/Whole Blood) is a lateral flow chromatographic immunoassay based on the principle of the double antigen-sandwich technique. The membrane is coated with recombinant HCV antigen on the test line region of the device. During testing, the serum/plasma or W.Blood specimen reacts with HCV antigen coated particles. The mixture migrates upward on the membrane chromatographically by capillary action to react with recombinant HCV antigen or membrane and generate a colored line. Presence of this colored line indicates a positive result, while its absence indicates a negative result. To serve as a procedural control, a colored line will always appear at the control line region, indicating that the correct volume of specimen has been added and membrane wicking has occurred. Storage and Stability: AccuTest HCV should be stored at 4-30C. However, the card may be stored at room temperature not exceeding 30C in the original sealed pouch. Test Procedure: 1.

Buy AccuTest HBsAg Rapid Card Test (50 Tests) Online from Accurex. HBsAg means Hepatitis B surface antigen which is a protein on the surface of hepatitis B virus. It can be detected in high levels in serum during acute or chronic hepatitis B virus infection. HBsAg positive indicates that the person is infectious. The hbsag test kit is a one-step immunochromatographic assay based on the antigen capture, or Sandwich principle. HBsAg positive treatment may include Antiviral medications. AccuTest HBsAg Card Test Hepatitis BHepatitis B is a viral infection that attacks the liver and can cause both acute and chronic disease. An estimated 240 million people are chronically infected with hepatitis B (defined as hepatitis B surface antigen positive for at least 6 months). Laboratory diagnosis of hepatitis B infection focuses on the detection of the hepatitis B surface antigen HBsAg. Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) consists of lipid carbohydrate and protein elements; the protein moiety provides a marker for identification of chronic, infectious BBV infections. Hepatitis B is transmitted sexually or intravenously and has an incubation period of six months. If not diagnosed properly and in time, it can develop into acute or chronic infection, liver cirrhosis and fulminant hepatitis. This test is very useful for screening blood donors, to find out whether they are HBsAg positive before collection of blood. Principle: AccuTest HBsAg is a qualitative test based on immunochromatography sandwich principle. The test card includes a combination of monoclonal anti-body gold conjugate (colloidal gold) and polyclonal solid phase antibodies which selectively binds Hepatitis B surface antigen with high degree of sensitivity. The HBsAg test is a one-step immunochromatographic assay based on the antigen capture, or Sandwich principle. The method uses monoclonal antibodies conjugated to colloidal gold and polyclonal antibodies immobilized on a nitrocellulose strip in a thin line. The test sample is introduced into well and flows laterally through an absorbent pad where it mixes with the signal reagent. If sample contains HBsAg, the colloidal gold-antibody (mouse) conjugate binds to the antigen, forming an antigen-antibody-colloidal gold complex. The complexes then migrate through the nitrocellulose strip by capillary action, which are stopped by an immobilized antibody zone forming a purple band. The formation of the first purple band (T zone) is indicative of hepatitis positive. To serve as a procedural control, an additional line of antibody antimouse IgG has been immobilized on the card. If the test is performed correctly, this will result in the formation of purple and upon contact with the conjugate as a control line. Safety Information AccuTest HBsAg test kit is designed lor detection of Hepalitis B Surface Antigenin the specimen. As with all diagnostic tests, il is recommended to interpret all the results in line wilh clinical manifestations, other lest resulls & clinicians’s view colleclively. If the lest device is showing stagnancy in flow on chromalography, it is most likely due lo problem in the sample. In this case, relest with a fresh sample or diluted sample. Direction for Use Test Procedure: 1. Allow the test, specimen and or control to room temperature prior to the testing 2. Remove one test card from the pouch and place it on a clean flat surface 3. Using the dropper provided one drop of serum/plasma or W. blood sample (25 ul), wait for few seconds till the Whole blood absorbed by sample pad (approx. 30 second), 4. Add 2-3 drops of buffer (60 ul) into the sample well. (If needed add one more drop of assay buffer). 5. Let reaction proceed until the appearance of positive line and control line or up to 20 minutes. 6. Read results after 20 minutes, strong positive reaction may visible within 5 minutes. 7. If negative or questionable results are obtained, the HBV infection is suspected, the test should be repeated ona fresh serum specimen. Storage: AccuTest HBsAg should be stored at 4-30C. However, the card may be stored at room temperature not exceeding 30C in the original sealed pouch.
