A rapid test for the qualitative detection of blood stain in swab specimen. For forensic use.
INTENTED USE
The Blood Stain Rapid Test Dipstick (Stain) is a rapid chromatographic immunoassay for identification of human blood in
suspected stain.
PRINCIPLE
The Blood Stain Rapid Test Dipstick (Stain) is a qualitative,
lateral flow immunoassay for identification of human blood in a suspected stain. The membrane is pre-coated with anti-hemoglobin antibodies on the test line region. During testing, the specimen reacts with
the particle coated with anti-hemoglobin antibody. The mixture migrates upward on the membrane chromatographically by capillary action to react with anti-hemoglobin antibodies on the membrane and generate a colored line.
REAGENTS
The test strip contains hemoglobin monoclonal antibody particles
and hemoglobin monoclonal antibody coated on the membrane.
PRECAUTIONS
Please read all the information in this package insert before performing the test.
1. For forensic use only. Do not use after the expiration date.
2. The test should remain in the sealed pouch or closed canister
until ready to use.
3. Do not eat, drink or smoke in the area where the specimens or
kits are handled.
4. Do not use the test if the pouch is damaged.
5. All specimens should be considered potentially hazardous and handled in the same manner as an infectious agent.
6. Wear protective clothing such as laboratory coats, disposable gloves or eye protection when specimens are being tested.
7. The used test should be discarded according to local
regulations.
8. Humidity and temperature can adversely affect results.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE
Allow the test, specimen, buffer and/or controls to reach room
temperature (15-30°C) prior to testing.
1.Bring the pouch to room temperature before opening it. Remove the
test Dipstick from the sealed pouch and use it as soon as possible.
2.With arrows pointing toward the mixture solution, immerse the
test dipstick vertically into the mixture solution for 10-15
seconds. DO NOT PASS THE “MAX” LINE on the lower strip label of the
dipstick when immerse the dipstick.
3.Place the dipstick on a level and clean desk, start the timer and
wait for the color line (s) to appear. Read the result at 5
minutes, do not interpret the result after 10 minutes.
INTERPRETATION OF RESULTS
POSITIVE:* Two lines appear. One colored line should be in the control line region (C) and another apparent colored line should be
in the test line region (T).
*NOTE: The intensity of the color in the test line region (T) will
vary depending on the concentration of human semen present in the specimen. Therefore, any shade of color in the test line region (T) should be considered positive.
NEGATIVE: One colored line appears in the control line region (C). No line appears in the test line region (T).
INVALID: Control line fails to appear. Insufficient specimen volume
or incorrect procedural techniques are the most likely reasons for
control line failure. Review the procedure and repeat the test with a new
test.
