Introduction

ACCUDx CQ hs-CRP+CRP Kit is intended for in vitro quantitative determination of C-reactive protein (CRP) in serum, plasma or whole blood. Measurement of CRP helps detect and evaluate infection, tissue injury and inflammatory disorders. Measurement of high sensitivity CRP (hs-CRP), when used in conjunction with traditional clinical laboratory evaluation of acute coronary syndromes (ACS), may be useful as an independent marker of prognosis for recurrent events in patients with stable coronary disease or ACS.

Collect specimens according to safe phlebotomy procedures. Test card, sample and reagent should be brought to room temperature before testing. Confirm that SD card lot no. matches with the test kit lot no. Perform SD card calibration whenever the lot number is changed and when necessary. On the main menu of ACCUDx CQ Analyzer, press the ENT button to enter the testing interface. Remove the test card from the sealed pouch just before use. Label the test card with patient or specimen identification.

The test uses an anti-human CRP monoclonal antibody conjugated with fluorescence latex and another anti-human CRP monoclonal antibody coated on the test line. After the sample has been applied to the test strip, the fluorescence latex-labelled anti-human CRP monoclonal antibody binds with the CRP in the sample and forms a marked antigen-antibody complex. This complex moves to the test detection zone by capillary action. Then, the marked antigen-antibody complex is captured on the test line by the anti-human CRP monoclonal antibody. The fluorescence intensity of the test line increases in proportion to the amount of CRP in the sample.
