Typhoid Test Kit

A Typhoid Test Kit is a medical diagnostic tool used for the detection of antibodies associated with infection with Salmonella typhi. It is designed to produce a rapid result, which can aid in the screening and diagnosis of typhoid fever, speeding up treatment plans and reducing the spread of the disease.

The typhoid rapid test kit is a lateral flow immunoassay and can be used with whole blood, serum, or plasma specimens. This type of typhoid IgG/IgM test does not require any advanced equipment, which makes it suitable for remote areas or regions with limited laboratory access.

AdvaCare Pharma manufactures Typhoid Test Kits in ISO and CE-certified facilities located in strategic positions across the world. Each facility undergoes routine inspections to ensure adherence to international standards and regulatory compliance.

Specimen

Whole Blood, Serum, or Plasma specimen is required for the test. To obtain a sample for testing, whole blood, serum, or plasma can be collected using either the standard venipuncture technique with 2 drops of blood or the fingerstick method with 50 μL of blood. In the case of serum or plasma samples, they need to be centrifuged before transferring to the designated area of the cassette. The transfer can be done using a capillary tube or dropper. After transferring the specimen, a drop of the appropriate buffer dilution should be added immediately to the designated area to initiate the testing process.

Form

Cassette consists of a plastic box that contains a test strip inside. It has an area for sample placement and a window in which the lines will be displayed as a positive, negative, or invalid test result.

The cassette provides a convenient platform for administering the test, ensuring accurate and easy interpretation for treating typhoid.
