Rubella IgG/IgM Rapid Test (Whole Blood/Serum/Plasma)

The Rubella IgG/IgM Rapid Test (Whole Blood/Serum/Plasma) is a qualitative,lateral flow
immunoassay for the detection of IgG/IgM antibodies to Rubella in serum or plasma specimens, The test consists of:1
) a red colored conjugate containing monoclonal anti-human IgG/IgM
conjugated with colloid gold (monoclonal anti-human IgG/IgM conjugates).2) a nitrocellulose membrane strip containing a test band (T band) and a control band (C band).The T ban is pre-coated with rubella specific antigen for detection of IgG/IgM anti-Rubella, and the C band is pre-coated with goat anti mouse IgG. When an adequate volume of test specimen is applied into the sample pad of the test,the
specimen migrates be capillary action across the strip.IgG/IgM anti-rubella if present in the
specimen will bind to the monoclonal anti-human IgG/IgM conjugates.The immune complex is
then captured on the membrane by the pre-coated rubella specific antigen, forming a colored T
band indicating a rubella IgG/IgM positive test result. Absence of T band suggests a negative result. The test contains an internal control (C band) which should exhibit a colored band of the immune complex of goat anti mouse IgG/IgM old
conjugate regardless of the colored development on the T band.Otherwise,the test result is
invalid and the specimen must be retested with another device. To serve as a procedural control, a colored line will always appear in the control line region of the
strip indicating that proper volume of specimen has been added and membrane wicking has occurred.
