INTRODUCTION
One Step ANTI-TP in Whole Blood Rapid Screen Test is a chromatographic immunoassay for the qualitative detection of antibodies to TP in human whole blood.Two Purified recombinant antigens of TP are used in test band as capture materials and gold conjugates. If the antibody of Anti-TP is present in the sample in concentration above the labeled, complex will be formed. This complex is then captured by antigens immobilized in the Test Zone of the membrane, producing a visible pink-rose color band on the membrane. The color intensity will depend on the concentration of the anti-TP present in the sample. This one step test is very sensitive and only takes about 15 minutes. Test results are read visually without any instrument.
SPECIMEN COLLECTION
For whole blood, collect blood into a container with anticoagulant. If the specimen cannot be tested on the day of collection, store the whole blood specimen in a refrigerator. Bring the specimens to room temperature before testing.
