RPR VDRL CARBON

Product catalog summary

Overview: This document provides information on diagnostic tests for Syphilis, focusing on two complementary agglutination tests: the RPR VDRL and TPHA tests. These tests are designed to detect treponemal and non-treponemal antibodies in serum, offering a cost-effective and routine laboratory solution with high sensitivity and specificity.

Specifications:

RPR VDRL CARBON: 100 tests, Sensitivity >99%, Specificity >99%
TPHA: 100 tests, Sensitivity 98.5%, Specificity 99.6%
TPHA MICROPLATES: 5 units

Methodology:

RPR VDRL Test: A serologic cardiolipin-based test for quick detection of Syphilis. It uses a suspension of cardiolipin/lecithin/cholesterol and carbon particles to visually detect antibodies (reagin) through the formation of black dumps.
TPHA Test: Detects T. pallidum antibodies using an haemagglutination method. Avian erythrocytes sensitized with T. pallidum fragments agglutinate in the presence of specific antibodies, forming a clouding effect in microtitre plates.

Procedures:

TPHA Qualitative Procedure: Mix 190 µL diluent with 10 µL serum, transfer 25 µL of mixture, add 75 µL of Test/Control Cells, and observe agglutination intensity.
RPR VDRL Qualitative Procedure: Dispense serum/plasma and antigen suspension, rotate for 8 minutes, and examine for agglutination.

Results Interpretation:

Negative results: No visible agglutination.
Positive results: Agglutination intensity from +/- to 4+.
All positive results should be confirmed with a semi-quantitative procedure.

Principle During Syphilitic infection, 2 groups of antibodies are detectable: nontreponemal antibodies which react with nonspecific antigens (RPR VDRL test), and treponemal antibodies which react with the specific antigens to T. pallidum (TPHA test). RPR VDRL test is a serologic cardiolopidic and nontreponemic test for the quick detection of Syphilis. The reagent consists of a suspension of cardiolipin/lecithin/cholesterol and carbon particles in order to improve the visual reading. Cardiolipidic antigens react with the antibodies (reagin) present in the sample and form macroscopically visible...
