Product OverviewImmunochromatographic rapid assay for the detection of Rotavirus Group A antigens in human stool specimens. Intended to aid in the diagnosis of rotavirus infection and to monitor the effectiveness of therapeutic treatment.
Test PrincipleThe test is a sandwich solid-phase immunochromatographic assay. An aliquot of diluted stool sample is added to the sample well of the test cassette. The sample flows through a conjugate pad containing rotavirus-specific antibody conjugated to red-colored colloidal gold. If rotavirus antigen is present, antigen-antibody-gold complexes form and migrate on the nitrocellulose membrane to the test line where immobilized rotavirus-specific antibodies capture them, producing a visible red test line. A separate red control line indicates correct device function. Absence of a control line invalidates the test.
