Accurex Accu Test Vitamin D Test Kit

Accurex Accu Test Vitamin D Test Kit is a rapid chromatographic immunoassay for the semi-quantitative detection of vitamin D levels in human blood/serum. This assay provides only a preliminary screening test result. A more specific alternative chemical method must be used to obtain a confirmed analytical result. The performance characteristics of this assay have not been established in a pediatric population.

Uses:

• This kit is used for the detection of vitamin D levels in human blood/serum.

Product Specifications and Features:

• It is based on the principle of a competitive enzyme immunoassay

• The assay is based on the competition for 25-OH Vitamin D present in the blood/serum sample and vitamin D on the test line for a fixed number of the antibody-gold conjugate

• Depending upon the vitamin D concentration in blood/serum, free antibody-gold conjugate molecules will bind to Vitamin D on the test strip and show a coloured line in the test line zone

• A control line is present in the test window to work as procedural control

• Read test results for 10 minutes as required

• Results may deteriorate and not be consistent after 10 minutes

• In order to avoid variable results, mix the blood sample thoroughly

• A serum sample subjected to repeated freeze-thaw cycles may give variable results

Directions For Use:

• Remove the cassette from the sealed pouch and place it on a hard flat surface with the view window facing up (use the cassette as soon as possible)

• Using a micropipette, add 10 µl of whole blood or 5ul of serum sample directly into the rectangular specimen well (marked with Red drop) of the cassette

• Add 3 full drops of buffer into the square buffer well of the cassette (do not move the cassette after addition of buffer)

• Let the cassette sit for 10 minutes, and read your results immediately

• Results may deteriorate after the 10-minute mark
