Product Specification

Typhoid S. Typhi / S. Paratyphi Combo Enteric Fever Testing Differential Diagnosis of Fever

Product Overview

In regions where tropical diseases are endemic, distinguishing between Typhoid and Paratyphoid fever is essential for effective treatment. Our Typhoid S. Typhi / S. Paratyphi Combo Test is a rapid diagnostic tool (RDT) utilizing immunochromatographic technology for the qualitative detection of Salmonella antibodies. Specifically designed for the differential diagnosis of fever, this combo kit provides reliable results within 15 minutes, serving as a critical consumable for Enteric Fever testing globally.

Key Benefits

• Simultaneous Detection: Identify S. Typhi and S. Paratyphi in a single test, allowing clinicians to initiate the correct antibiotic therapy immediately.

• Fever Management: A vital tool for differential diagnosis, reducing the misdiagnosis of Typhoid as Malaria or Dengue due to overlapping symptoms.

• Superior Heat Stability: Optimized for tropical climates, our kits support 2-30°C storage. No cold chain is required, significantly lowering logistics and storage overheads.

• High Clinical Sensitivity: Rigorously tested for high capture rates of both IgG and IgM antibodies, ensuring accurate detection of both acute and past infections.

• Field-Ready POCT: Requires no lab infrastructure, making it the perfect solution for mobile clinics and remote medical missions.

Technical Specifications

Material Differentiation: The Advantage of the Combo Cassette

For Enteric Fever testing, we utilize a sophisticated Combo Cassette design:

• Dual-Channel Architecture: Encased in medical-grade ABS plastic, the cassette features independent strips for Typhi and Paratyphi to ensure zero cross-interference.

• Controlled Fluidics: The integrated sample well (S) regulates specimen flow across the Nitrocellulose (NC) membrane, minimizing operator error and "flood" failures.

• Environmental Protection: The plastic housing shields the sensitive membrane from high humidity, maintaining the integrity of the test bands for accurate reading.

Applications & Target Use

• Clinical Settings: Infectious disease hospitals, emergency rooms, and diagnostic laboratories.

• Public Health: Large-scale screening by NGOs and government health departments in high-risk zones.

• Target Population: Patients presenting with "Enteric Fever" symptoms, including sustained high fever, malaise, and abdominal.

• Geographic Focus: Indispensable for healthcare providers in South Asia, Southeast Asia, and Sub-Saharan Africa.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. Q: Why is the Widal test being replaced by this Rapid Test?

   A: Unlike the Widal test, which is time-consuming and prone to cross-reactivity, our RDT provides faster results and detects specific IgG/IgM antibodies for better diagnostic accuracy.

2. Q: Can this test be used for food safety testing?

   A: No, this kit is for clinical diagnostic use with human blood samples only. For food-borne Salmonella detection, specialized environmental kits are required.
