Description:
- Microtitre wells are coated with the clinical significant H. pylori strain with proteins CagA (120 kDa) and VacA (87 kDa).
- 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 1 hour 30 min.
- High sensitivity and specificity of the test.
- Kit includes CUT-OFF, Positive Control, Negative Control and Calibrators (5, 20, 60, 120 AU/ml).
- Semi-quantitative evaluation in the Index of Positivity (IP) or quantitative evaluation in AU/ml.
- Ready-to-use, color-coded components.
- Single-component substrate.
- Interchangeable components with the exception of kit specific components (Controls, Conjugate, Plate).
Application:
- Screening test for the detection of infection with H. pylori.
- Monitoring of antibody levels after eradication of H. pylori.
