Principle
Advantage Dengue NS1 Ag card test is based on immunochromatographic test principle for the detection of Dengue NS1 antigen. When a sample is added to the device, Dengue NS1 Antigen if present in the sample will bind to the anti-dengue NS1 gold colloidal conjugate making antigen antibodies complex. This complex migrates along the membrane to the test region and forms the visible pink line at “T” as antibody-antigen-antibody gold colloid forms.
