Rapid cholera test

The Vibrio cholerae O1 Antigen Rapid Test Device (Feces) detects Vibrio cholerae O1 through visual interpretation of color development on the internal strip. Anti- Vibrio cholerae O1 antibodies are immobilized on the test region of the membrane. During testing, the specimen reacts with anti- Vibrio cholerae O1 antibodies conjugated to colored particles and precoated onto the sample pad of the test. The mixture then migrates through the membrane by capillary action and interacts with reagents on the membrane. If there is sufficient Vibrio cholerae O1 in the specimen, a colored band will form at the test region of the membrane.
