Syphilis

The Syphilis Rapid Test Cassette (Serum/Plasma) is a qualitative membrane based
immunoassay for the detection of TP antibodies (IgG and IgM) in serum or plasma. In
this test procedure, recombinant Syphilis antigen is immobilized in the test line region
of the test. After specimen is added to the specimen well of the test Cassette, it reacts
with Syphilis antigen coated particles in the test. This mixture migrates
chromatographically along the length of the test and interacts with the immobilized
Syphilis antigen. The double antigen test format can detect both IgG and IgM in
specimens. If the specimen contains TP antibodies, a colored line will appear in the
test line region, indicating a positive result. If the specimen does not contain TP
antibodies, a colored line will not appear in this region, indicating 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
