Principle

Dengue NS1 Antigen FP is an immunoassay based on the “sandwich” principle. Dengue NS1 antigen device contains two lines; “C” (Control Line) & “T” (Dengue NS1 Antigen detection Test Line). Test line is coated with anti-dengue NS1 antibodies. When a sample is added to the device, Dengue NS1 antigen if present in the sample will bind to the anti-dengue NS1 gold colloid conjugate making antigen antibodies complex.

On addition of assay buffer, this complex migrates along the membrane to the test region and forms the visible pink line at “T” as antibody-antigen-antibody gold conjugate complex.

The intensity of the test band in the device will vary depending upon the amount of antigen present in the sample. The appearance of any pink/red colour in test region should be considered as reactive for Dengue NS1 antigen. A red procedural control line should always develop in the test device window to indicate that the test has been performed properly.
