Dengue IgG/IgM Ab Rapid Diagnostic test kit

Description

The Dengue IgG/IgM Ab Rapid Test is a qualitative membrane-based immunoassay for the detection of Dengue antibodies in serum or plasma. This test consists of two components, an IgG component and an IgM component. In the IgG component, antihuman IgG is coated in IgG test line region. During testing, the specimen reacts with Dengue antigen-coated particles in the test cassette. The mixture then migrates upward on the membrane chromatographically by capillary action and reacts with the anti-human IgG in IgG  test line region. If the specimen contains IgG antibodies to Dengue, a colored line will appear in IgG test line region. In the IgM component, antihuman IgM is coated in IgM test line region. During testing, the specimen reacts with  anti-human IgM. Dengue IgM antibodies, if present in the specimen, reacts with the  anti-human IgM and the Dengue antigen-coated particles in the test cassette, and this complex is captured by the anti-human IgM, forming a colored line in IgM test line region. Therefore, if the specimen contains Dengue IgG antibodies, a colored line will appear in t IgG test line region. If the specimen contains Dengue IgM antibodies, a colored line will appear in IgM test line region. If the specimen does not contain Dengue antibodies, no colored line will appear in either of the test line regions, indicating a negative result
