PrincipleAdvantage Dengue NS1 Ag card test is based on immunochromatographic test principle for the detection of Dengue NS1 antigen. When a sample is added to the device, Dengue NS1 Antigen if present in the sample will bind to the anti-dengue NS1 gold colloidal conjugate making antigen antibodies complex. This complex migrates along the membrane to the test region and forms the visible pink line at "T as antibody-antigen-antibody gold colloid forms.

FAQ's of J Mitra Advantage Dengue Ns1 Ag Card:
Q: How is the J Mitra Advantage Dengue Ns1 Ag Card used for dengue detection?
A: The card employs a sandwich immunoassay technique to qualitatively identify the dengue NS1 antigen in a small sample of serum, plasma, or whole blood. After sample application, the visual lines indicate results within 15-20 minutes.
Q: What samples can be tested with this dengue NS1 Ag card?
A: You can use serum, plasma, or whole blood samples, making it convenient in varied clinical settings, from laboratory environments to bedside screening.
Q: Where should the Dengue NS1 Ag Card be stored for optimal results?
A: It is best stored between 2C and 30C to maintain reliability throughout its 24-month shelf life. Avoid exposure to high humidity or direct sunlight.
Q: When can I expect results after applying the specimen?
A: Results are visually interpreted by the appearance of test and control lines within 15-20 minutes of sample application.
Q: What are the benefits of using this rapid dengue test?
A: The test offers high sensitivity (over 95%) and specificity (over 98%), rapid turnaround time, user-friendly operation, portability, and reliability, making it ideal for both point-of-care and larger healthcare facilities.
Q: What process does the test follow to detect NS1 antigen?
A: Using immunochromatographic assay technology, the sample migrates along the card and reacts with diagnostic reagents. This produces visual lines that indicate either the presence or absence of the NS1 antigen.
Q: Is the Dengue NS1 Ag Card reusable or disposable?
A: Each card is designed for single use and should be disposed of after testing. The packaging ensures individual hygiene and reduces contamination risk.
