Dengue IgG/IgM Rapid Test Device (Whole Blood/Serum/Plasma)
Intended Use
The Dengue IgG/IgM Rapid Test Device (Whole Blood/Serum/Plasma) is a rapid chromatographic immunoassay for the qualitative detection of IgG and IgM antibodies to Dengue virus in human whole blood, serum, or plasma as an aid in the diagnosis of primary and secondary Dengue infections.
MATERIALS
Materials Provided
Test devices Droppers Buffer Package insert
Materials Required But Not Provided
Specimen collection containers Lancets (for fingerstick whole blood only)
Centrifuge Micropipette Timer
Allow the test device, specimen, buffer, and/or controls to reach room temperature (15 30°C) prior to testing.
1.Bring the pouch to room temperature before opening. Remove the test device from the sealed pouch and use it as soon as possible.
2.Place the test device on a clean and level surface.
For Serum or Plasma Specimens:
Hold the dropper vertically, draw the specimen up to the Fill Line (approximately 5 μL), and transfer the specimen to the specimen well (S) of the test device, then add 3 drops of buffer (approximately 90 L) and start the timer. See illustration below. Avoid trapping air bubbles in the specimen well (S).
For Whole Blood (Venipuncture/Fingerstick) Specimens:
To use a dropper: Hold the dropper vertically, draw the specimen 0.5-1 cm above the Fill Line, and transfer 1 drop of whole blood (approximately 10 µL) to the specimen well (S) of the test device, then add 3 drops of buffer (approximately 90 uL) and start the timer. See illustration below.
To use a micropipette: Pipet and dispense 10 µL of whole blood to the specimen well (S) of the test device, then add 3 drops of buffer (approximately 90 µL) and start the timer. See illustration below.
Wait for the colored line(s)n volume, incorrect operation procedure, or performing expired tests are the most likely reasons for control band failure.
