STREP A Rapid Test Strips

£62.00 (per 1 pack of 50)

TEST KIT DESCRIPTION
The Clarity Strep A Rapid 'Test Strip' qualitatively detects Strep A antigens in throat swab samples. This is a rapid test to aid in the diagnosis of Group A Streptococcal infections.

TEST PRINCIPLE
The Strep A Rapid 'Test Strip' is a qualitative, sandwich lateral flow immunoassay for the detection of Strep A carbohydrate antigen in a throat swab. Strep A carbohydrate antigen present in the extracted throat swab sample reacts with the antibodies to Strep A that are pre-coupled onto particles. The antigen, antibody, and/or antigen-antibody complex migrate up the membrane and react with the antibodies pre-coated on the membrane in the test line and control regions of the strip. The presence of a coloured line in the test line region indicates a positive result. To serve as a procedural control, a coloured line will always appear in the control region to show the test has been performed properly.

TEST PROCEDURE

1. Ensure specimen and test reagents are brought to room temperature before testing.

2. Add 4 drops of Extraction Reagent 1 (pale red in colour) and 4 drops of Extraction Reagent 2 (colourless) to an extraction tube.

3. Mix the solution gently by swirling the extraction tube. The colour will change from red to colourless or pale yellow.

4. Immediately place the swab into the extraction tube, immersing the swab head in the solution by gently squeezing the bottom of the tube. Rotate the swab several times, then leave the swab to sit in the solution for one minute.

5. Remove the swab while squeezing the swab head against sides of the extraction tube as you remove it to expel as much liquid as possible. Discard the swab in accordance with your biohazard waste disposal protocol.

6. Remove the test strip from the sealed pouch and place the test strip inside the tube of solution and start the timer. Take care not to immerse the strip past the ‘MAX’ liquid line.

7. Read the result at 5 minutes. Do not read results after 10 minutes.
