Intended Use
REAGEN Intended to test Staphylococcus aureus in water, beverages, dairy products, meat, seafood, etc.
Principle
The Staphylococcus Aureus Rapid Test Kit(lateral flow) is qualitative test based on sandwich lateral flow immunochromatographic assay. The test cassette has a window for process observation and result reading. The T (test) and a C (control) zone on the testing window are invisible before running the assay. After the treated sample is dropped into the sample well, the liquid will flow through the surface of the test trip laterally and react with the pre-coated recombinant antigens. If there are Staphylococcus aureus present in the sample, The T-line will be visible. Meanwhile, the C line is expected to always be visible if sample is applied, which acts as an indicator of result validity. By these means, the presence of Staphylococcus aureus in the sample can be determined.
