Rapi-D Vitamin D Test [Pack of 25]

Rapi-D™ Quantitative Vitamin D Test utilises the principle of Immunochromatography, a unique two-site “Sandwich” immunoassay on a membrane. The test employs a very “Exclusive” pair of anti-25-OH Vitamin D Monoclonal Antibodies; one conjugated with colloidal gold and another one immobilized on the solid phase. This will selectively detect Vitamin D with a high degree of sensitivity and specificity.

As the test sample flows through the membrane assembly within the test device, the coloured anti-25-OH Vitamin D-colloidal gold conjugate complexes with 25-OH Vitamin D from the sample. This complex moves further on the membrane by the capillary action to the test region (T) where it is immobilized by another anti-25-OH Vitamin D coated on the membrane, leading to formation of a pink / purple coloured band, which confirms a positive test results. The intensity of coloured band in the test line region is 25-OH Vitamin D concentration-dependent, higher the concentration of 25-OH Vitamin D in the tested sample, the stronger the coloured band is. A control line is present in the test window to work as procedural control.
