C-reactive protein (CRP)

Rapid immunochromatographic test for the qualitative detection of C-reactive protein (CRP) in human whole blood, serum and plasma samples as an aid in diagnosis of acute inflammatory disorders.

The test is performed by applying the whole blood, serum or plasma sample to the sample well of the cassette and observing the formation of colored lines. CRP is detected by utilizing a combination of anti-CRP antibody coated particles and CRP antibody. The sample migrates by capillary effect along the membrane. If present in the sample, CRP reacts with anti-CRP antibody-coated particles and is captured by CRP antibody coated in the test (T) region.

Test sensitivity: > 99.9% (95.6% - 100.0%)*

Test specificity: 97.5% (96.3% - 98.7%)*

Overall Agreement: 97.8% (96.2% - 98.9%)*
