Expected use
This kit is used to perform semi-quantitative tests for the detection of albumin in a urine sample. It is considered a screening test for kidney damage in its early stages.
Summary and explanation
The Human Urine Microalbumin Diagnostic Kit (Colloidal Gold) is a semi-quantitative chromatographic immunoassay using colloidal gold for the detection of microalbumin in human urine based on competitive inhibition. After falling into the sample well on the membrane, the urine sample can dissolve the precoated microalbumin specific mono-antibody labeled colloidal gold. If there is microalbumin in the urine sample, it will react with the monoantibody-labeled colloidal gold on the nitrocellulose filter, and there will be no or only an undertone band in the test region (T).
The colloidal-labeled compounds then diffuse into the reference region (R) and the control region (C) and react with the precoated goat anti-mouse IgG, and a purple band will develop in both regions of the cell. membrane. If there is no microalbumin in the urine sample, the microalbumin specific mono-antibody labeled colloidal gold will react with the precoated microalbumin in the test region (R) and a purple band will develop.
