Human Tropical Fever IgM Lateral flow dipstick kit 7873

The Mikrogen recomLine Tropical Fever tests are serological, qualitative line immunoassays that combine the diagnostic markers Equad proteins and non-structural proteins (NS1), thereby enabling the identification of specific antibodies against the individual antigens of Dengue, Chikungunya, and Zika viruses. Virus-like particles (VLP) are used to detect CHIKV and NS1 and Equad proteins are used for DENV and ZIKV. The unique setup allows differentiation of DENV and ZIKV using a 2-step interpretation scheme that includes NS1 antigen reactions and, in their absence, reactivities against Equad proteins.

• New antigens: higher sensitivity due to CHIKV VLP, DENV and ZIKV Equad as well as improved flavivirus differentiation.
• Simultaneous detection and differentiation of DENV, CHIKV, and ZIKV infections in one step.
• Parallel detection of IgG and IgM enables monitoring of seroconversions and supports diagnosis of both primary and secondary flavivirus infections.
• Additional diagnostic support to reliably exclude ZIKV infections in pregnant women.
• For human serum/plasma from approximately 7 days after symptom onset and for follow-up samples after 1-2 weeks.
• Easy and clear interpretation due to two-band criterion.
• Partial and full automation, software-based evaluation (recomScan), and integration with the laboratory information system are possible.
• High sensitivity and specificity due to the use of recombinant antigens.
