Strep A Ag Rapid Test

The Strep A Rapid Test Cassette (Throat Swab) is a qualitative, lateral flow immunoassay for the detection of Strep A carbohydrate antigen in a throat swab. In this test, antibody specific to Strep A carbohydrate antigen is coated on the test on of the test.After the test strip is immersed into a specimen, the extracted throat swab specimen reacts with an antibody to Strep A that iscoated onto particles. This mixture migrates up the membrane to react with the antibody to Strep A on the membrane and generate a colored he test on. The presence of this colored he test on indicates a positive result, while its absence indicates a negative result. To serve as a procedural control, a colored always appear at the control on, indicating that proper volume of specimen has been added and membrane wicking has occurred.Materials Provided Test CassettesStrep A Reagent A (2M Sodium Nitrite)Strep A Reagent B (0.4M Acetic Acid)Sterile swabsWorkstationPackage insertTest tubesMaterials Required But Not ProvidedTimer
