Sexual Health Test Kit ASI™ VDRL Antigen Test Syphilis Screen, 10 mL

Product Overview

Tailored for testing cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) specimens. The convenience of screw cap vials eliminates the use of glass ampules, enhancing both safety and efficiency in handling. Additionally, the results obtained from this testing kit have been validated through participation in CAP (College of American Pathologists) and AAB (American Association of Bioanalysts) surveys, attesting to its reliability and accuracy. To facilitate seamless implementation, procedure sheets from the NCCLS (National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards) are readily available, ensuring standardized and precise testing protocols

Product Features

• The ASI VDRL Antigen test for syphilis is a specific qualitative and semi-quantitative nontreponemal flocculation test for the detection of reagin antibodies in human serum
• The procedure is based on the VDRL antigen being combined at a correct ratio with buffered saline and then mixed with heat-inactivated serum
• Kits include two vials of VDRL antigen (2 x 5mL), two vials of VDRL buffered saline (2 x 60mL)
• The kit could perform as many as 5,900 tests but it is generally less due to facility testing workflow
• Suitable for testing cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) specimens
• If you were to make all of the antigen suspension that the kit can make at one time and were able to use it within the eight hour expiration period you could perform approximately 5900 tests
• Howver, the procedure in the package insert describes making a 5 ml batch of suspension and this is enough suspension to perform 294 tests
• The amount discarded will affect the total amount of tests performed
• Immediately after rotation of slide, read the test microscopically using 100x magnification.
