Chlamydia

The Chlamydia Rapid Test Cassette (Swab/Urine) is a qualitative, lateral flow immunoassay for the
detection of Chlamydia antigen from female cervical, male urethra or male urine. In the test, antibody
specific to the Chlamydia antigen is coated on the test line region of the test. During testing, the
extracted antigen solution reacts with an antibody to Chlamydia that is coated onto particles. The
mixture migrates up to react with the antibody to Chlamydia on the membrane and generates a colored
line in the test region. The presence of this colored line in the test line region indicates a positive result,
while its absence indicates a negative result. To serve as a procedural control, a colored line will always
appear in the control line region, indicating that proper volume of specimen has been added and
membrane wicking has occurred
