Description
The Mankind Rapid News Dengue Antigen Instant Blood Test Kit is a rapid chromatographic immunoassay designed for the qualitative detection of Dengue NS1 antigen. This test is intended for professional in-vitro diagnostic use only and serves as an aid in the early diagnosis of Dengue infections. The detection of the NS1 antigen, a non-structural protein of the Dengue virus, can indicate an infection from the first day and up to 9 days after the onset of fever.
Detects NS1 Antigen: The kit is designed for the qualitative detection of Dengue virus NS1 antigen in human whole blood, serum, or plasma.
Early Detection Aid: It can be used as a screening tool in the early phase of a Dengue viral infection, as the NS1 antigen is detectable from day one of the fever.
Rapid Results: The test provides results within 10-20 minutes, allowing for prompt consultation with a healthcare professional.
Q: What is the purpose of the Mankind Rapid News Dengue Antigen Instant Blood Test Kit?
A: This test kit is used for the qualitative detection of dengue virus NS1 antigen in human blood samples to aid in the early diagnosis of dengue fever.
Q: How long does it take to get the results?
A: The results of the test can be read within 15 to 20 minutes after performing the test. It is advised not to interpret the results after 20 minutes.
Q: What should I do if the test result is positive?
A: A positive result, indicated by two colored lines in the control (C) and test (T) regions, suggests the presence of dengue NS1 antigen. It is recommended to consult a healthcare professional promptly for further evaluation and management.
Q: What does a negative or invalid result look like?
A: A negative result shows only one colored line in the control region (C). An invalid result occurs if no line appears at all, or if a line appears in the test region (T) but not in the control region (C). In case of an invalid result, the test should be repeated with a new kit.
Q: Is it necessary to consult a doctor before using this kit?
A: Yes, this test is for in-vitro diagnostic use and should be used for initial screening. All results should be interpreted by a healthcare professional in conjunction with clinical symptoms for a final diagnosis.
