Monkeypox Test Kit

A Monkeypox Test Kit is a medical detection tool used to qualitatively assess the presence of the monkeypox virus (MPV) in a patient. The test provides results in as little as 15 minutes, which can rapidly speed up a diagnosis and treatment for a patient and reduce further transmission of the infection.

The (MPV) monkeypox antigen test kit is a lateral flow immunoassay that is produced as a strip or cassette for diagnostic testing. Either whole blood/serum/plasma or rash exudate can be utilized for the rapid test.

AdvaCare Pharma manufactures Monkeypox Test Kits in ISO and CE-certified facilities located in strategic positions across the world. Each facility undergoes routine inspections to ensure adherence to international standards and regulatory compliance.

Specimen

Whole Blood/Serum/Plasma can be utilized for testing. To collect a specimen, either standard venipuncture with 2 drops of blood or fingerstick with 50 μL of blood can be used. In the case of serum/plasma samples, the specimen should be centrifuged before transferring it to the assigned area of the cassette. The specimen can be transferred using a capillary tube or dropper. Immediately after transferring the specimen, a drop of the corresponding buffer dilution is added to the assigned area of the cassette to initiate the test.

Rash Exudate Swab can be used to take a small sample of cells from the skin lesion or sore that is present on the patient.

The rash exudate swab is packaged in a sterile blister pack. The long, thin part of the swab is made of plastic. There is a tip at the end of the swab that, applying firm pressure, absorbs a sample of material from the surface of the skin lesion. Immediately after collecting the sample, it is placed in a buffer dilution to proceed with the test.

Form

Cassette is a device that consists of a plastic box that contains a test strip inside. The container has an area for sample placement and a window in which the lines will be displayed. It displays a positive, negative, or invalid test result for the presence of monkeypox, which is readable after a short period of time.
