Multiplo TP/HIV is a single-use, qualitatave immunoassay for the detectioon of anObodies to Treponema pallidum bacteria (TP), the causative agent of syphilis and/or antibodies to human immunodeficiency virus Type 1 and Type 2 (anti-HIV-1/2) in human serum, plasma, and whole blood (fingerstick and venipuncture). Multiplo TP/HIV is intended for use by healthcare professionals as an aid in the diagnosis of infectioon with TP and/or HIV-1/2.
Multiplo TP/HIV is a manually performed, visually interpreted, rapid vertical flow immunoassay. The test cartridge contains an immunoreactive test membrane comprised of specially formulated synthetic peptides to gp36, gp41, gp120, HIV-1 group O, and TP recombinant antigens, coated onto a membrane matrix, which function to capture anti-TP and anti-HIV-1/2 antibodies present in human serum, plasma and whole blood when a drop of the specimen is applied. In addition, the test membrane has a procedural and reagent Control Line comprised of an optimized amount of protein A. Following the application of the sample, captured anti-HIV-1/2 antibodies and/or anti-TP antibodies are visualized through a reaction with the InstantGold cap, which contains a proprietary protein A-colloidal gold conjugate.
