Principle
HIV antigens are immobilized on a porous immunofiltration membrane. Sample and reagents pass through the membrane and are absorbed into the underlying absorbent. As the patient’s sample passes through the membrane, HIV antibodies, if present, bind to the immobilized antigens. Conjugate binds to the Fc portion of the HIV antibodies to give distinct pinkish purple DOT(s) against a white background.
To serve as a procedural control, at the control region (“C”) a “Built-in Quality Control Dot” has been devised to confirm the proper functioning of the device, reagent and correct procedural application..
