Trust Toluidine Red Unheated Serum Test Kit
Toluidine Red Unheated Serum Test For Rapid Serodiagnosis Of Syphilis Summary Syphilis Is A Sexually Transmitted (Venereal) Disease Caused By The Spirochaete Treponema Pallidum. After Infection The Host Forms Treponemal Antibodies To Treponema Pallidum, In Addition The Host Also Forms Non Treponemal Antilipoidal Antibodies In Response To The Lipoidal Material Released From The Damaged Host Cell. These Antibodies Are Traditionally Referred To As 'reagins.' Toluidine Red Unheated Serum Test (Trust) Is A Macroscopic Non Treponemal Flocculation Test For The Detection And Quantitation Of Antilipoidal Antibodies. Non-treponemal Tests Like Redgen Are Of Great Value When Used For Screening And Follow Up Of Therapy. Reagents 1. Redgen Reagent: A Particulate Suspension Containing A Red Micronised Dye Coated With Lipid Complexes. 2. Positive Control, Reactive With The Redgen Reagent. 3. Negative Control, Non Reactive With The Redgen Reagent. 4. Redgen Detects Antilipoidal Antibodies In Serum Or Plasma. As Against The Conventional Vdrl Reagents, Test Samples Do Not Require Heat Inactivation. Each Batch Of Reagents Undergoes Rigorous Quality Control At Various Stages Of Manufacture For Its Specificity, Sensitivity And Performance. Reagent Storage And Stability 0 Store The Reagent At 2-8 C. Do Not Freeze. The Shelf Life Of The Reagent Is As Per The Expiry Date Mentioned On The Reagent Vial Label. Do Not Use Reagents After The Expiry Date. Avoid Exposure To Elevated Temperature And Air, As The Reagent Is Highly Sensitive To Denaturation And Drying.
