In this assay, antibodies specific for Strep A antigens are immobilized in the test line region. During the test, antigens extracted from the swab specimen are captured by specific Strep A antibodies, which are attached to indicator particles. The mixture is passed along the membrane and the antigen-antibody-particle complex binds to the specific antibody in the test line region. Aggregation of the complexes produces a colored line in the test line region.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe appearance of the colored line in the test line region (T) indicates a Positive result, while its absence indicates a Negative result.\u003cbr\u003e A red line should always appear in the control line region (C). It serves as a procedural control, confirming that sufficient sample volume was used and indicating adequate membrane removal and proper procedural technique.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow to use\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e Place the empty sample tube in the holder.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n \u003cli\u003eOpen and add 4 drops of buffer A to the empty sample tube.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e Open and add 4 drops of Buffer B to the sample tube to which Buffer A was added.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\n\u003cbr\u003e Interpretation of Results\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n \u003cstrong\u003ePositive:\u003c\/strong\u003e Both the purple test zone and the purple control zone appear on the membrane.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n \u003cstrong\u003eNegative:\u003c\/strong\u003e Only the purple control band appears on the membrane.
