The Chlamydia Rapid Test Device is a rapid chromatographic immunoassay
for the qualitative detection of Chlamydia trachomatis in clinical specimens
to aid in the diagnosis of Chlamydia infection.
Allow the test device, specimen, reagents, and/or controls to reach room
temperature (15-30.. C) prior to testing.
1. Remove the test device from the sealed foil pouch and use it as soon as
possible. Best results will be obtained if the test is performed immediately
after opening the foil pouch.
2. Extract the Chlamydia antigen:
For Female Cervical or Male Urethral Swab Specimens:
. Hold the Reagent A bottle vertically and add 5 full drops of Reagent A
(approximately 300 μL) to the extraction tube(See illustration ①). Reagent
A is colorless. Immediately insert the swab, compress the bottom of the
tube and rotate the swab 15 times. Let stand for 2 minutes. (See illustration
②)
. Hold the Reagent B bottle vertically and add 6 full drops Reagent B
(approximately 250ul) to the extraction tube. (See illustration ③) Reagent B
is pale yellow. The solution will turn cloudy. Compress the bottom of tube
and rotate the swab 15 times until the solution turns to a clear color with a
slight green or blue tint. If the swab is bloody, the color will turn yellow or
brown. Let stand for 1 minute. (See illustration ④)
. Press the swab against the side of the tube and withdraw the swab while
squeezing the tube. (See illustration ⑤).Keep as much liquid in the tube as
possible. Fit the dropper tip on top of the extraction tube.
