Dengue Scan Test Kit

Description

Description: The Dengue Scan Test Kit by Microsid is a rapid diagnostic tool designed for the qualitative detection of Dengue virus infections. This kit specifically targets the non-structural protein 1 (NS1) antigen and differentiates between IgM and IgG antibodies, providing essential information for diagnosing both primary and secondary dengue infections.

Key Features:
Test Type:

• The kit is a rapid solid-phase immuno-chromatographic test, allowing for quick results.

Components:

• Available in various pack sizes, including single packs and multi-packs (e.g., 10 tests per pack).

Detection Capabilities:

• Detects NS1 antigen from day 1 of infection.
• Differentiates between IgM and IgG antibodies, aiding in the assessment of the infection stage.

Testing Mechanism: The Dengue Scan Test Kit operates by applying a blood sample (serum or plasma) to the test device. If the NS1 antigen or antibodies are present, they will bind to specific reagents on the test strip, resulting in visible colored lines that indicate positive or negative results.

Usage Instructions
1. Sample Collection:

• Collect a blood sample using standard venipuncture techniques.

2. Testing Procedure:

• Apply the blood sample to the designated area on the test device.
• Wait for the specified time (usually around 15-20 minutes) to read the results.

3. Interpreting Results:

• A positive result shows lines in both the control region and test region.
• A negative result shows only one line in the control region.
• An invalid result occurs if no control line appears.

Safety Information: The Dengue Scan Test Kit is safe for use when proper handling procedures are followed. Users should adhere to the instructions provided in the kit to minimize risks associated with testing for dengue virus infection. For any concerns regarding results or testing procedures, consulting a healthcare professional is recommended.
