The Adenovirus Rapid Test (Feces) is a sandwich solid phase immunochromatographic assay. To perform the test, an aliquot of diluted stool sample is added to the sample well of the test Device. The sample flows through a label pad containing adenovirus antibody coupled to red-colored colloidal gold. If the sample contains adenovirus antigens, the antigen will bind to the antibody coated on the colloidal gold particles to form antigen antibody-gold complexes. These complexes move on the nitrocellulose membrane by capillary action toward the test line region on which adenovirus specific antibodies are immobilized. As the complexes reach the test line, they will bind to the antibody on the membrane in the form of a line. A second red control line will always appear in the result window to indicate that the test has been correctly performed and the test device functions properly. If adenovirus antigen is not present or lower than the detection limit of the test, only the control line will be visible. If the control line does not develop the test is invalid.
