Group A Rotavirus Antigen Rapid Test

IVD Rotavirus A Testing Kits (Feces Specimen)

Rotavirus test cassette is an immunoassay for the detection of group A rotavirus in human faecal specimens. Rotavirus rapid test cassette is based on the principle of sandwich immunochromatography, and utilizes two kinds of antibody in a solid phase sandwich immunochromatography to detect group A specific proteins, including the major inner capsid protein, present in Group A rotavirus. When testing with the rotavirus antigen test, if there is rotavirus protein in the specimen added to the sample well of the rotavirus cassette, the protein of the rotavirus will react with the anti-human antibody in the membrane strip first, and will be captured by the recombinant antibody at the test region (T). A red or pink line will appear under the effect of this complex of sandwich structure, indicating a positive result. This one-step rotavirus test is intended to be used as an aid in the diagnosis of rotavirus diarrhea. Early detection of the real causes of the diarrhea symptom will help taking timely measures to treat the disease accordingly.

Rotavirus is the most common cause of severe, dehydrating diarrhea among children worldwide. Rotavirus can be mild or severe. Among the seven groups of this virus, the group A, which has multiple strains, causes the majority of childhood infections. A person infected with rotavirus diarrhea often excretes large amounts of virus, which can spread readily through contaminated hands. Rotavirus, a hearty virus that survives easily in the environment, can also be transmitted through contaminated objects, water, or food. Its incubation period is about two days. The disease causes vomiting and watery diarrhea for 3 to 8 days, and frequently includes fever and abdominal pain.
