Cryptosporidium Ag

The Cryptosporidium Antigen Rapid Test Cassette is a qualitative lateral flow
immunoassay for the detection of Cryptosporidium antigens in human feces. The
membrane is pre-coated with monoclonal antibodies against Cryptosporidium
antigens on the test line region. During testing, Cryptosporidium antigens, if
present in the specimen, bind with anti-Cryptosporidium antibodies conjugated
particles, which were pre-dried on the test strip. The mixture moves upward on
the membrane by capillary action. In the case of a positive result the specific
antibodies present on the membrane will react with the conjugate-antigen
complex and generate a colored line in Test Line region(T). A red line always
appears in the control line and serves as verification that sufficient volume was
added and that proper flow was obtained and as an internal control for the
reagents
