Overview
Rapid test for the diagnosis of Syphilis to qualitatively detect antibodies (IgG and IgM) to Treponema Pallidum (TP) in whole blood, serum or plasma. The Syphilis Rapid Test (Whole Blood / Serum / Plasma) is a qualitative, membrane-based immunoassay for the detection of TP antibodies (IgG and IgM) in whole blood, serum or plasma.
In the procedure of this test, a recombinant Syphilis antigen is immobilized in the area of the test line. After the sample is poured into the well of the holder, it reacts with the Syphilis antigen coated particles in the test. This compound then migrates upwards on the membrane chromatographically and reacts with the immobilized Syphilis antigen.
The dual antigen test format can detect both IgG and IgM in samples. If the sample contains TP antibodies, a colored line will appear in the test area indicating a positive result. If the sample does not contain TP antibodies, a colored line will not appear in this area, indicating a negative result.
As a procedural control, a line will always appear in the test control zone, indicating that the correct volume of specimen has been used and that the membrane has been soaked. Treponema Pallidum (TP) is the agent that causes the venereal disease of Syphilis. TP is a spirochete bacterium with an outer envelope and a cytoplasmic membrane.
Relatively little is known about the organism in comparison to other pathogenic bacteria. According to the Center for Disease Control (CDC), the number of cases of Syphilis infection has risen sharply since 1985. Some key factors that have contributed to this increase include the prevalence of crack
