Principle (Antigen-Antibody Reaction)

Quanti PCT Card is a fluorescence immunoassay, based on the “sandwich” principle. The test uses anti-PCT antibody immobilized on a nitrocellulose strip. The detector antibody in conjugate binds to the antigen in sample, forming antigen-antibody fluorescence complex. This complex migrates through the nitrocellulose strip by capillary action. When the complex meets the line of the corresponding immobilized antibody on the test line the fluorescence signal is produced from Immuno-complex. The more antigen in sample forms the more antigen-antibody complex and leads to stronger intensity of fluorescence signal. The signal is interpreted and the result is displayed on device reader in terms of concentration.
