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

The Zika IgG/IgM Rapid Test (Whole Blood/Serum/Plasma) is a qualitative membrane-based
immunoassay for the detection of IgG and IgM antibodies to Zika Virus in whole blood, serum or plasma specimen. This test consists of two components, an IgG component and an IgM
component. In the IgG component, anti-human IgG is coated in IgG test line region. During
testing, the specimen reacts with Zika NS1 antigen-coated particles in the test cassette. The mixture then migrates upward on the membrane chromatographically by capillary action and
reacts with the anti-human IgG in IgG test line region, if the specimen contains IgG antibodies to Zika virus. A colored line will appear in IgG test line region as a result of this. Similarly, anti- human IgM is coated in IgM test line region and if specimen contains IgM antibodies to Zika
virus, the conjugate-specimen complex reacts with anti-human IgM. A colored line appears in
IgM test line region as a result. Therefore, if the specimen contains Zika IgG antibodies, a colored line will appear in IgG test
line region. If the specimen contains Zika IgM antibodies, a colored line will appear in IgM test
line region. If the specimen does not contain anti-Zika antibodies, no colored line will appear in
either of the test line regions, indicating a negative result. To serve as a procedural control, a
colored line will always appear in the control line region, indicating that the proper volume of specimen has been added and membrane wicking has occurred.
