Principle

Advantage Chikungunya IgM Card is a one step Immunochromatographic assay based on sandwich principle. The test sample is introduced which flows laterally through an absorbent pad where it mixes with the conjugate. If the sample contains Chikungunya specific IgM antibodies, it forms a complex with the conjugate. The complex then migrates through the nitrocellulose membrane by capillary action. When the complex meets the line of immobilized capture reagents (Test Line ’T’), it generates a pink purple line, indicating that the sample is reactive .To serve as a procedural control, an additional control line ‘C’ has been immobilized at a distance from the test line on the strip. If the test is performed correctly, this will result in the formation of a pinkish-purple line at the control region upon contact with the conjugate.
