SCREEN TEST ADENOVIRUS

Adenovirus Rapid Test – Product code: SC-0456-25

The rapid test for Adenovirus (Feces) is a rapid immunochromatographic test for the qualitative detection of Adenovirus in human stool samples to assist in the diagnosis of Adenovirus infection. Acute diarrhea disorder in young children is the leading cause of morbidity worldwide and the leading cause of mortality in developing countries. Research has shown that enteric adenoviruses, especially Ad40 and Ad41, are the leading causes of diarrhea in many of these children, second only to rotaviruses. These viral pathogens have been isolated around the world and can cause diarrhea in babies around one year old. Infections are more common in children under the age of two, but have been found in patients of all ages.

Further studies indicate that adenoviruses are associated with 4-15% of hospitalizations for viral gastroenteritis. The rapid and accurate diagnosis of gastroenteritis caused by adenovirus is useful for establishing the etiology and related treatment of the patient. Other diagnostic techniques such as electron microscopy (EM) and nucleic acid hybridization are expensive and require a lot of effort. Given the self-limiting nature of adenovirus infection, such expensive and tiring tests may not be necessary. The Rapid Test for Adenovirus (Feces) is a rapid immunochromatogratic test for the qualitative detection of adenovirus in human stool samples and provides results in 10 minutes. The test uses a specific antibody for adenovirus to selectively detect it in human stool samples. The Rapid Test for Adenovirus (Feces) is a qualitative, lateral scrolling immunoassay for the qualitative detection of adenovirus in human stool samples. In this test the membrane is pre-coated with anti-adenovirus antibody in the test line region. During the test, the sample reacts with the particle coated with anti-adenovirus antibody. The compound migrates upwards on the membrane chromatographically by capillary action reacting with the anti-adenovirus antibody on the membrane and generates a colored line in the test line area. The presence of this colored line indicates a positive result, while its absence indicates a negative result. As a procedural control, a colored line always appears in the control line region, indicating that the correct volume of sample has been used and that the membrane has been soaked.
