Quick and Precise HAV IgG/IgM Test Cassette for TB Antibodies Detection

Short Description:

The TB Antibody Rapid Test device is a sandwich lateral flow chromatographic immunoassay for the qualitative detection of antibodies (IgG and IgM) anti‐Mycobacterium Tuberculosis (M.TB) in human serum or plasma. It is intended to be used as a screening test and as an aid in the diagnosis of infection with M. TB. Any reactive specimen with the TB Antibody Rapid Test device must be confirmed with alternative testing method(s) and clinical findings.

The innovative HAV IgG/IgM Test Cassette from QL Biotech forms the most reliable solution for rapid tuberculosis (TB) antigen detection. This scientifically advanced device operates based on the lateral flow chromatographic immunoassay concept, further enhanced by the double antigen-sandwich technique principle. As a cutting-edge technological tool, our HAV IgG/IgM Test Cassette provides quick and precise results, offering an essential aid in the timely diagnosis and subsequent treatment of tuberculosis. This test cassette has been specifically designed to ensure the utmost accuracy in the detection of the TB antibody, thereby contributing to improved patient outcomes. Underpinned by the double-antigen sandwich technique, our HAV IgG/IgM Test Cassette leverages two primary components - the pre-coated gold conjugate pad containing recombinant TB antigens conjugated with colloid gold (TB conjugates) and nitrocellulose membrane coated with a TB antigen. This protocol ensures high sensitivity and specificity for TB antibody detection. Upon adding the specimen to the sample well, the TB antigens bind with any present TB antibodies forming TB antibody-antigen complexes. As the specimen migrates along the membrane by capillary action, these complexes are captured by the TB antigens coated on the membrane, thereby forming a colored test line in the device, an indication of a positive result.

PRINCIPLE

The TB Antibody Rapid Test device is a lateral flow chromatographic immunoassay based on the principle of the double antigen–sandwich technique. The test cassette consists of: 1) a burgundy colored conjugate pad containing M.TB antigens conjugated with colloid gold (M.TB conjugates)and rabbit IgG‐gold conjugates, 2) a nitrocellulose membrane strip containing a test band (T band) and a control band (C band). The T band is pre‐coated with non‐conjugated M.TB antigens, and the C band is pre‐coated with goat anti‐rabbit IgG. When an adequate volume of test specimen is dispensed into the sample well of the cassette, the specimen migrates by capillary action across the cassette. The antibodies: either the IgG, the IgM to M. TB if present in the specimen will bind to the M.TB conjugates. The immunocomplex is then captured on the membrane by the pre‐coated M.TB antigens, forming a burgundy colored T band, indicating a M.TB Ab positive test result. Absence of the T band suggests a negative result. The test contains an internal control (C band) which should exhibit a burgundy colored band of the immunocomplex of goat anti‐rabbit IgG/rabbit IgG‐gold conjugate regardless the presence of any antibodies to M.TB. Otherwise, the test result is invalid and the specimen must be retested with another device.

  • ASSAY PROCEDURE

        • 1. Bring the specimen and test components to room temperature. Place the test device  on a clean, flat surface. 
          2. Be sure to label the device with specimen’s ID number. 
          3. Fill the plastic dropper with the specimen. Holding the dropper vertically, dispense 2  drops (about 80 µL) of specimen into the sample well making sure that there are no  air bubbles. Then add 1 drop of buffer into the sample well. Set up timer. 
          4. Results can be read in 10 minutes. Positive results can be visible in as short as 1  minute. Don’t read result after 10 minutes. To avoid confusion, discard the test  device after interpreting the result.


        INTERPRETATION OF RESULTS


          •  


        In the absence of TB antibodies in the specimen, there will not be a color change, indicating a negative result. This intuitive, color-based result presentation makes the HAV IgG/IgM Test Cassette easy-to-use and extraordinarily helpful in prompt TB detection. In summary, QL Biotech's HAV IgG/IgM Test Cassette offers a revolution in the speed and accuracy of TB antibody detection. Its state-of-the-art technology ensures reliability, giving healthcare professionals a tool they can trust in the fight against tuberculosis.
