Introduction:
Rotavirus Antigen Test Kit epitomizes the forefront of diagnostic excellence, providing a rapid and precise method for detecting Rotavirus antigens. Leveraging state-of-the-art technology and rigorous development, our test empowers healthcare professionals with essential diagnostic insights for swift intervention and patient management.
Intended Use: Rotavirus infection typically manifests as acute gastroenteritis, characterized by symptoms such as watery diarrhea, vomiting, fever, and abdominal pain. In severe cases, dehydration can ensue rapidly, posing a significant risk to vulnerable populations, particularly infants and young children. . The Rotavirus Antigen Test Kit is meticulously engineered for the qualitative detection of Rotavirus antigens in a variety of clinical specimens, including stool samples.
Principle: Employing a sophisticated lateral flow immunoassay methodology, our rapid test utilises specific antibodies to Rotavirus antigens immobilised on the test cassette. Upon application of the specimen, any Rotavirus antigens present bind to these immobilised antibodies, resulting in the generation of a discernible signal manifested as visible lines on the test strip.
Storage and Stability:
Crafted for optimal convenience and reliability, our Rotavirus Antigen Test Kit is designed for storage at room temperature (2°C to 30°C). This ensures the sustained integrity and performance consistency of the test kit, obviating the necessity for specialized storage conditions.
Precautions:
- Exercise meticulous care to prevent any potential contamination during the handling of test components.
- Adhere strictly to the specified expiration date of the test kit to ensure optimal functionality.
- Follow precise protocols for sample collection and preparation, adhering closely to the provided instructions.
- Strictly comply with established safety measures and guidelines for the handling of biological specimens.
- Employ appropriate disposal procedures for used test components, ensuring adherence to biohazard waste disposal regulations.
Procedure:
- Collect the requisite clinical specimen, typically stool samples, from the patient.
- Apply the specimen to the designated area on the test cassette.
- Allow the test to undergo development for the prescribed duration.
- Interpret the results based on the discernible appearance of lines on the test strip.
Limitations:
- The Rotavirus Antigen Test Kit is intended exclusively for in vitro diagnostic use.
- Exercise caution in result interpretation, considering clinical findings and complementary diagnostic tests for comprehensive evaluation.
- Be cognizant of potential sources of error, including improper sample handling or storage conditions.
- Acknowledge that the test may not exhibit sensitivity to Rotavirus infections during the nascent stages of illness or in cases with low antigen concentrations.
