Description:
· Used Antigen: combination of selected parts of the specific antigens of Helicobacter pylori (CagA, VacA, UreA, NAP, HpaA, HcpC, GroEL).
· Recombinant antigens are applied in the form of microdots (spots) in triplets to a nitrocellulose membrane in a microtiter well format.
· If specific antibodies are present in the sample, they will bind to the respective antigens.
· The complex is labelled with Conjugate and detected through a colour reaction with substrate (BCIP/NBT).
· The kit enables 48 tests.
· Short incubation periods, total assay time: approximately 1.5 h.
· Each individual test includes control spots, which serves to check functionality and sensitivity of the sets, and also the spots for checking the presence of the conjugate.
· Positive controls included enabling validation of the tests.
· For quantitative evaluation the wells contain calibration spots.
· All reagents supplied are ready to use.
· The kit may be used sequentially for smaller batches of samples (reagents are provided in sufficient quantities).
· Evaluation using Microblot-Array reader and the appropriate software.
Applications:
· Laboratory test for the detection of Helicobacter pylori.
· Confirmatory test to ELISA.
