C-reactive protein Rapid Test Dipstick

【SUMMARY】
C-reactive Protein (CRP) in patient’s sera has been found in association with acute infections, necrotic conditions and a variety of inflammatory disorders. There is a strong correlation between serum levels of CRP and the onset of the inflammatory process. Monitoring the levels of CRP in patient’s sera indicates the effectiveness of treatment and the assessment of patient recovery. It is used in particular to differentiate bacterial infections from virus infections.

【DIRECTIONS FOR USE】
Bring tests, specimens, buffer, and/or controls to room temperature (15-30°C) before use.
1. Remove the Test Dipstick from its sealed pouch, and place it on a clean, level surface.
For best results, the assay should be performed within one hour.
2. Open the tube with the diluted sample and put the test dipstick with the arrow pointing end into the liquid. Make sure to dip the test not beyond the line for the maximum immersion depth (Max line). Avoid in any case a direct wetting of the result area by spilling or dipping the test beyond MAX line.
3. Leave the test for minimum 10 seconds in the diluted sample until the slightly pink-colored liquid front becomes visible in the result area.
4. Take out the test dipstick and place it on a plain and non-absorbent surface. Alternatively, the test dipstick can remain in the tube. Start the timer as the test starts to run.
5. As the test begins to run you will observe a colored liquid migrate along the membrane of the reaction area. Interpret results at 5 minutes. Please stick exactly to this time line to ensure correct semi-quantitative results.
