Zika IgG/IgM Rapid Test Uncut Sheet

Zika is diagnosed based on serological analysis and viral isolation in mice or tissue culture. An IgM immunoassay is the most practical lab test method. The zika IgM/IgG Rapid Test utilizes recombinant antigens derived from its structure protein, it detects IgM/IgG anti-zika in patient serum or plasma within 15 minutes. The test can be performed by untrained or minimally skilled personnel, without cumbersome laboratory equipment.

The Zika IgM/IgG Rapid Test is a lateral flow chromatographic immunoassay. The test cassette consists of:

1) a burgundy colored conjugate pad containing recombinant antigen conjugated with colloid gold (Zika conjugates) and rabbit IgG-gold conjugates,

2) a nitrocellulose membrane strip containing two test bands (M and G bands) and a control band (C band).

The M band is pre-coated with monoclonal anti-human IgM for the detection of IgM anti-Zika, G band is pre-coated with reagents for the detection of IgG anti-Zika, and the C band is pre-coated with goat anti rabbit IgG.
