Description
The Stergic Dengue Rapid Test Kit is designed for the qualitative detection of Dengue virus NS1 antigen and IgG/IgM antibodies in human blood, serum, or plasma. This test facilitates a prompt diagnosis of dengue infection, providing results within 15-20 minutes. It is intended for use in healthcare settings like clinics and hospitals, and can also be used at home under professional guidance. Early detection is crucial for managing dengue, a mosquito-borne viral infection common in tropical and subtropical regions.
Qualitative Detection: This test identifies the presence of Dengue NS1 antigen for early-stage detection and IgG/IgM antibodies for assessing the stage of infection. Rapid Results: The test provides results within 15-20 minutes, allowing for timely medical consultation. Versatile Specimen Use: It can be performed using whole blood (from a vein or finger-prick), serum, or plasma samples. Comprehensive Kit: The package typically includes test pouches, droppers, and an assay buffer for performing the test. Ease of Use: Designed for convenience, the test can be used in various healthcare settings and at home, though professional consultation is advised.
