ELISA kit

Semi-quantitative

This is a semi-quantitative enzyme immunoassay for the detection of antibodies to Gnathostoma, in samples of human serum or plasma. This test is intended to be performed by trained medical technologists only.

Human serum or plasma

96 T

Test strips (MT PLATE): Microwells containing Gnathostoma recombinant antigens - 96 test wells in a test strip holder.
Enzyme conjugate (CONJ): 1 bottle containing 11 mL of protein A conjugated to peroxidase.
Positive control (CONTROL+): 1 vial containing 2 mL of a surrogate positive control.
Negative control (CONTROL-): 1 vial containing 2 mL of diluted human sera.
Chromogen (SUBS, TMB): 1 bottle containing 11 mL of the chromogen tetramethylbenzidine (TMB).
Wash concentrate (20x) (WASH BUF): 2 bottles containing 25 mL of concentrated buffer and surfactant.
Dilution buffer (SPECM DIL): 2 bottles containing 30 mL of buffered protein solution.
Stop solution (SOLN): 1 bottle containing 11 mL of 1 M phosphoric acid.
