C-reactive Protein (CRP) Test Kit

The CRP Semi-Quantitative Rapid Test Cassette (Whole Blood/Serum/Plasma) is a rapid chromatographic immunoassay for the semi-quantitative detection of C-reactive protein in whole blood, serum or plasma.

【testing principle】

The CRP Semi-Quantitative Rapid Test Cassette (Whole Blood/Serum/Plasma) is a semi-quantitative, membrane based immunoassay for the detection of C-reactive protein in whole blood, serum or plasma. During testing, the specimen is dropped into the specimen well and reacts with the particle conjugated with CRP antibody, and the mixture migrates upward on the membrane chromatographically by capillary action to react with anti-CRP antibody pre-located on the membrane and generate a purple line. The number of lines depends on the CRP concentration in the sample. The more CRP is contained in the sample, the more color lines become visible. The control line serves as a procedural control and indicates that sufficient volume of specimen has been added and membrane wicking has occurred.
