Model Number: CMV-IgM-cassette Brand Name: EGENS Key Specifications/Special Features: Introduction:The one step cassette style CMV IgG test is a rapid test based on the principle of immunoassay combined with conjugated colloid gold technologyThe CMV test is a diagnostic device for qualitative detection of anti-CMV IgG in human serum (or plasma)/whole blood(WB) specimenSummary:Purified recombinant antigens of CMV are precoated onto membrane as a capture reagent on the test band regionIf the anti-CMV IgG is present in the sample and concentration above the cutoff labeled anti-human IgG-dye complex will be formedThis complex is then captured by antigens immobilized in the test zone of the membrane, producing a visible pink color band on the membraneThe color intensity will depend on the concentration of the anti-CMV IgG present in the sampleThis one step test is very sensitive and only takes about 15-20 minutesTest results are read visually without any instrumentInterpretation of results:Negative: only one pink band appears on test region of the cassette, this indicates that there is no detectable anti-CMV IgM in the specimen
Positive: two pink bands appear on test region of the cassette, this indicates that the specimen contains detectable amount of anti-CMV IgM
Invalid: if without colored band appears on test region, this is an indication of a possible error in performing the test, the test should be repeated using a new device
