Chlamydia Rapid Test Background Information
Chlamydia trachomatis is one of the most common sexually transmitted pathogens. It is a major
cause of cervicitis, urethritis, endometritis, and pelvic inflammatory disease in women. Serious complications can result in salpingitis, infertility, and ectopic pregnancy. If transmitted to infants
during birth, Chlamydia can cause conjunctivitis and pneumonia. 50-70% of infected women are asymptomatic, which makes diagnosis extremely important. The primary method for detection of Chlamydia is growth of the organism in cell culture. Other methods include direct fluorescence assays (DFA), enzyme immunoassays (EIA), and nucleic acid probing.





Chlamydia Rapid Test Principle
The OneStep Chlamydia Rapid Test utilizes the chemical extraction of a carbohydrate antigen from Chlamydia followed by the utilization of migratory color immunoassay technology for the
qualitative detection of Chlamydia trachomatis. In the test procedure, a unique set of polyclonal and monoclonal antibodies are employed. One antibody is immobilized on a porous membrane
while the other antibody is conjugated to dye particles as signaling component. If using swab, specimen or from a patient is treated with extraction reagent A and B to extract the antigen.
The test dipstick is then immersed in the extraction sample. The liquid migrates through the absorbent area and along the membrane. If Chlamydia trachomatis antigen is present, the labeled antibody dye conjugate bind to it, forming an antibody antigen complex. For additional details please refer to the instructions for use.
