Antigen Detection Kit (Latex Method).

Applications and Use

This rapid test aids in diagnosing HMPV infections when used alongside other clinical evaluations. It identifies HMPV antigens with high specificity and sensitivity, making it a valuable tool in both healthcare settings and diagnostic laboratories.

Procedure and Results Interpretation:

1. Collect the nasopharyngeal swab sample and process, using the extraction buffer.

2. Apply the three drops of the prepared sample to the test cassette.

3. Read the results after 15 minutes

 Positive: Two lines (control and test regions).

 Negative: One single line (control region only).

 Invalid: The absence of a control line indicates procedural errors.

Precautions and Limitations

 Precautions: For professional use only; follow proper biosafety protocols.

                         Do not read the result after 20 min.

                         After opening, please use the kit within 1 hour.

 Limit of Detection(LoD): It can be detected when the sample concentration

is not less than 5104 copies/mL.
