Product Overview

The Cholera O1 Antigen Rapid Test Device (Feces) is a professional in vitro diagnostic tool based on rapid chromatographic immunoassay technology. It is specifically designed for the qualitative detection of Cholera O1 antigens in fecal specimens, providing a convenient and efficient way for preliminary screening of Cholera O1-related infections. The device operates on a non-invasive lateral flow assay principle, utilizing specific antibodies against Cholera O1 antigen (adsorbed on a reactive membrane) and colloidal gold-conjugated second antibodies to achieve accurate antigen detection.

Disease Background

Cholera is an acute diarrheal infection caused by the bacterium Vibrio cholerae, with Cholera O1 being one of the main serogroups responsible for epidemic cholera. The disease is primarily transmitted through contaminated food or water, and infected individuals typically present with severe watery diarrhea, which can lead to rapid dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, and even death if not treated promptly. Early detection of Cholera O1 antigens in fecal specimens is crucial for timely diagnosis, isolation of patients, and implementation of public health intervention measures to prevent the spread of the epidemic.

Result Interpretation

Positive：Two colored bands appear on the membrane: one in the control region (C) and another in the test region (T). Any shade of color in the test region (T) is considered positive, regardless of band intensity.

Negative：Only one colored band appears in the control region (C); no visible colored band is present in the test region (T).

Invalid：No colored band appears in the control region (C). Discard the test result immediately. Review the operation procedure and repeat the test with a new device. If the problem persists, stop using the kit and contact the local distributor.
