Product overviewQualitative test kit for detection of neutralizing antibodies to 2019-nCoV in clinical samples (serum, plasma, whole blood) using fluorescence immunochromatography with fluorescent microsphere labeling.
Key features- Qualitative detection of 2019-nCoV neutralizing antibodies
- Rapid time-to-result: 15 minutes
- Compatible sample types: whole blood, serum, plasma
- Designed for use with immunoassay analyzers (e.g. LEPU Fluo-800)
PrincipleThe kit contains fluorescently labeled 2019-nCoV Spike Protein (RBD), ACE2 protein immobilized in the test area (T) and a control antibody in the control area (C). Binding competition determines inhibition rate.
Operation steps- Step 1: Add two drops (≈20 µl) of whole blood or one drop (≈10 µl) of serum/plasma into well A.
- Step 2: Add three drops (≈100 µl) of sample dilution into well B, then start timing.
- Step 3: After 15 minutes, insert the cartridge into the immunoassay analyzer to read the result.
Applicable instrumentLEPU Fluo-800
Result interpretationReference range: Inhibition rate ≥ 20%
- Positive: Inhibition rate ≥ 20% — sample contains 2019-nCoV neutralizing antibodies.
- Negative: Inhibition rate < 20% — sample does not contain detectable 2019-nCoV neutralizing antibodies or level is below the limit of detection.
- Invalid: No fluorescent signal detected.
Technical specifications- Intended use: Qualitative detection of neutralizing antibodies to 2019-nCoV in clinical samples.
- Method: Fluorescence immunochromatography (fluorescent microsphere labeling combined with immunochromatography).
- Sample types: Whole blood, serum, plasma.
- Sample volume: Whole blood ≈ 2 drops (≈20 µl); Serum/plasma ≈ 1 drop (≈10 µl).
- Sample dilution volume: ≈ 3 drops (≈100 µl) to well B.
- Incubation / Time to result: 15 minutes.
- Readout: Insert cartridge into an immunoassay analyzer to obtain qualitative result.
- Applicable analyzer example: LEPU Fluo-800.
- Result threshold: Inhibition rate ≥ 20% = Positive; < 20% = Negative; No fluorescent signal = Invalid.
- Labeling: Fluorescently labeled Spike Protein (RBD); ACE2 immobilized at test area; control antibody at quality control area.
