·         Microtitre wells are coated with a combination of selected parts antigens specific for Bordetella parapertussis.

·         If specific antibodies are present, they bind to the antigen, are labeled by the Conjugate in the following steps and are detected by color reaction with a single component substrate (TMB-Complete).

·         The kit allows 96 tests, including controls in a split microtiter plate with color-coded strips and breakable wells.

Advantages:

·         The total assay time is about 2 hours.

·         High sensitivity and specificity of the test.

·         Kit includes CUT-OFF, Positive Control and Negative Control.

·         Semi-quantitative evaluation in the Index of Positivity (IP).

·         Ready-to-use, color-coded components.

·         Single-component substrate.

·         Interchangeable components with the exception of kit specific components (Controls, Conjugate, Plate).

Application:

·         Serological determination of antibodies to Bordetella parapertussis.

·         Diagnostics of post-infection and post-vaccination antibody response.
