Mycoplasma pneumoniae Antigen Rapid Test Cassette

M. pneumoniae is one of three species of Mycoplasma that frequently cause infection in humans. M. pneumoniae most commonly causes upper respiratory tract infections, but can also cause pneumonia. The identification of the M. pneumoniae will help the administration of the disease with appropriate antibiotic treatment. This M. pneumoniae immunoassay is intended to detect M. pneumoniae antigen qualitatively. Because this one-step M. pneumoniae rapid test is easy to carry out, it is widely used as a screening test device and as an aid in the diagnostics of M. pneumoniae disease.

【DIRECTIONS FOR USE】
Allow the test device, test sample and buffer to equilibrate to room temperature (15-30°C) prior to testing.
1. Remove the test cassette from the sealed foil pouch and use it as soon as possible. Best results will be obtained if the assay is performed immediately after opening the foil pouch.
2. Place the Extraction Tube in the workstation. Hold the extraction reagent bottle upside down vertically. Squeeze the bottle and let the solution drop into the extraction tube freely without touching the edge of the tube. Add 10 drops of solution (Approx. 500μl) to the Extraction Tube. See illustration 1.
3. Place the swab specimen in the Extraction Tube. Rotate the swab for approximately 10 seconds while pressing the head against the inside of the tube to release the antigen in the swab. See illustration 2.
4. Remove the swab while squeezing the swab head against the inside of the Extraction Tube as you remove it to expel as much liquid as possible from the swab. Discard the swab in accordance with your biohazard waste disposal protocol. See illustration 3.
5. Fit the dropper tip on top of the extraction tube. Place the test cassette on a clean and level surface. See illustration 4.
6. Add three drops of the solution (approx.120μl) to the sample well and then start the timer. Read the result at 15 minutes. Do not interpret the result after 20 minutes.
