Disease Test Adenovirus Rapid Test Kit

Product Description:

Adenovirus is the second most common cause of viral gastro-enteritis in Children (10-15%). This virus may also cause respiratory diseases and, depending on the serotype, also diarrhea, conjunctivitis, cystitis, etc. At lease 47 serotypes of adenovirus have been described, all sharing a common hexon antigen. Serotypes 40 and 41 are the ones associated with gastro-enteritis. The main syndrome is diarrhea that may last between 9 and 12 days associated with fever and vornits.

Application:

The One Step Adenovirus Test is a qualitative membrane strip based immunoassay for the detection of adenovirus in feces. In this test procedure, Adenovirus antibody is immobilized in the test line region of the device. After an adequate volume of test specimen is placed in the specimen well, it reacts with Adenovirus antibody coated particles that have been applied to the specimen pad. This mixture migrates chromatographically along the length of the test strip and interacts with the immobilized Adenovirus antibody. If the specimen contains Adenovirus, a colored line will appear in the test line region indicating a positive result. If the specimen does not contain Adenovirus, a colored line will not appear in this region indicating a negative result. To serve as a procedural control, a colored line will always appear at the control line region indicating that proper volume of specimen has been added and membrane wicking has occurred.
