Entamoeba Histolytica Ag

The Entamoeba histolytica Rapid Test Cassette (Feces) is a qualitative, lateral flow immunoassay for the
detection of Entamoeba histolytica antigens in human feces. The membrane is precoated with antiEntamoeba histolytica antibody on the test line region of the test. During testing, E. histolytica antigens,
if present in the specimen react with Entamoeba histolytica antibodies conjugated colored particles. The
antigen-conjugate complex migrates upward on the membrane chromatographically by capillary action to
react with anti-Entamoeba histolytica antibodies on the membrane and generate a colored line. 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 the proper volume of specimen has been added and membrane wicking has
occurred
