InSTIcheck™ Chlamydia rapid test devices qualitatively detect Chlamydia trachomatis antigen directly from endocervical swab or urine specimens. This device aids in the diagnosis of Chlamydial infection.

Principle:

The InSTIcheck™ Chlamydia test involves the chemical extraction of the Chlamydia antigen (lipopolysaccaride, LPS) followed by solid-phase immunometric assay technology for the qualitative detection of extracted LPS.

In the test procedure, an endocervical specimen is collected with a swab and Chlamydia antigens are extracted from the specimen with extraction reagents. The extract is added to the sample well with the aid of a transfer pipette and allowed to soak in.

If Chlamydia antigen is present in the specimen, it will react with the conjugate dye, which binds to the antibody on the membrane to generate a colored line in the test window.

The presence of two colored lines, one in the test window and the other in the control window, indicates a positive result, while the absence of a line in the test window indicates a negative result.
