Strep A Test
The NADAL® Strep A Test is a rapid visual immunoassay for the qualitative, presumptive detection of group A Streptococcus antigens in human throat swab specimens. The test is intended for use as an aid in the diagnosis of Strep A infections in patients showing typical symptoms.
The NADAL® Strep A Test enables the detection of group A Streptococcus antigens through visual interpretation of colour development on the test strip. Anti-Strep A antibodies are immobilised in the test line region of the membrane. During the test, the specimen reacts with the polyclonal anti-Strep A antibodies conjugated to coloured particles and precoated onto the sample pad of the test strip. The mixture then migrates along the membrane by capillary action and interacts with the reagents on the membrane. If there are sufficient Strep A antigens in the specimen, a coloured line will form in the test line region of the membrane.
