Test for the qualitative detection of SARS-CoV-2 specific neutralizing antibodies in clinical samples (serum, plasma, whole blood). The kit requires the use of the Quant-fluo 800 Fluorescence Immunochromatographic Analyzer.
Lepu Medical - 2019-nCoV Neutralization Antibody Test Kit - Fluorescence Immunochromatography EC - IVD
Description
The Lepu Neut ralization Antibody Test Kit is used for the qualitative detection of SARS-CoV-2 specific neutralizing antibodies in clinical samples (serum, plasma, whole blood).
Neutralization Antibody Test Kit Lepu: to evaluate the efficacy of the vaccine
Principles of the test
The product is based on the principle of antigen-antibody reaction and immunoassay technique. The assay device contains Spike protein （RBD） marked with a fluorochrome and pre-immobilized on a polyurethane membrane, ACE2 receptor (human, recombinant) immobilized in the assay area (T) and goat anti-mouse antibody blocked in the quality control area (C).
During the test, if the sample does not contain neutralizing antibodies to Sars-CoV-2, the fluorescent RBD domain migrates upward by capillary effect and binds directly to the immobilized ACE2 receptor in the test region (T) while if the sample contains neutralizing antibodies specific for Sars-CoV-2, they bind to the fluorescent RBD domain immobilized on the test buffer thus blocking the binding of RBD to ACE2.
Therefore, the content of neutralizing antibodies in the sample is inversely proportional to the fluorescence intensity and the inhibition rate is calculated using a specific formula. Regardless of the presence of 2019-nCoV neutralizing antibodies in the sample, there is a concentration of fluorescent substances in the quality control area (C). The accumulation of fluorescent substances present in the quality control area (C) is a criterion for judging whether enough sample has been loaded and whether this separation process has taken place correctly. Quality control is used as an effective internal control standard.
Sample requirements
The Lepu Neutralization Antibody Test Kit can be performed with serum, plasma, or whole blood. Blood must be collected by professional medical personnel. It is suggested that serum/plasma be used preferentially and, under emergency or special conditions, whole blood from patients may be used for rapid testing. After collection the sample should be tested immediately. Prolonged exposure of the sample to room temperature is prohibited. Whole blood sample, if it cannot be tested quickly, can be stored for 24 hours between 2 and 8 ℃. Serum/plasma samples can be stored for 3 days at 2 to 8 ℃, and for long-term storage, they can be frozen at a temperature below -20 ℃, avoiding repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Before the test, the sample must be brought back to room temperature, ready for application only after homogeneity. The sample should be brought back to room temperature before testing and should be used after mixing. Do not use samples with severe hemolysis, severe lipids and jaundice.
Test Components
The test card consists of a fluorescent holder (containing the RBD domain of the fluorophore-labeled Sars-CoV-2 virus Spike protein), a sample collection holder, a cellulose nitrate membrane on which the recombinant human ACE2 receptor is immobilized, and a goat anti-mouse antibody immobilized in control area C.
