FAQ's of J Mitra HIV TRI-DOT and Ag Rapid Test kit:
Q: How does the J Mitra HIV TRI-DOT and Ag Rapid Test Kit work?
A: The kit operates on an indirect solid phase immuno-dot assay principle, detecting HIV-1 and HIV-2 antibodies along with HIV-1 p24 antigen. When serum or plasma is added to the cassette, the test provides a visual result through colored dots, indicating the presence of the targeted antibodies or antigen.
Q: What makes this rapid test kit reliable for HIV screening?
A: With sensitivity above 99.5% and specificity over 99.8%, the kit ensures highly accurate results. Its CE marking and WHO prequalification further guarantee compliance with strict international and national standards, making it a dependable choice for professional HIV screening.
Q: When should I use this test kit for HIV detection?
A: This kit is meant for the rapid screening of HIV in human serum or plasma samples. It is especially useful when swift results are needed, such as in clinics, blood banks, or point-of-care settings. Testing can be performed any time a reliable HIV assessment is required for patient management or donor screening.
Q: Where can the J Mitra HIV TRI-DOT and Ag Rapid Test Kit be used?
A: Given its portable cassette format and simple manual operation, the kit is suitable for use in hospitals, clinics, laboratories, community health centers, and even mobile or outreach programs. Its operation requires no complex instruments or wall mounting, making it highly versatile.
Q: What is the process for interpreting the results with this kit?
A: After applying the sample and buffer to the cassette, results are visually read within 3-5 minutes. Three dots indicate detection of HIV-1 & HIV-2 antibodies and HIV-1 p24 antigen. The presence or absence of specific colored dots directly corresponds to the target markers detected.
Q: Are there any special storage conditions or handling requirements?
A: Store the kit between 2C and 30C in its original, unopened packaging. Ensure the kit remains sterile and do not use it past its indicated shelf life (12-24 months). Preparation and usage require basic laboratory precautions to maintain sample integrity.
Q: What benefits does using this rapid test offer compared to other methods?
A: This kit offers rapid, reliable, and easy HIV screening with minimal equipment. It uses a low sample volume, has no interference with common sample issues, is portable and disposable, and supports timely interventions, reducing wait time for critical care decisions.
