Studies have shown that the sensitivity of the
OSOM ® Ultra Strep A Test and the standard
single swab culture method are not statistically different.
PRINCIPLES OF TEST
The OSOM Ultra Strep A Test is a color immunochromatographic assay using Dual Label Technology (DLT)**.
DLT uses antibody labeled color particles coated at two separate locations in the test device.
DLT allows greater sensitivity than the conventional single label technology without sacrificing specificity.
In the test procedure, a throat swab is subjected to a chemical extraction of a carbohydrate antigen unique to Group A Streptococcus.
The Test Stick is then placed in the extraction mixture and the mixture migrates along the membrane. If Group A Streptococcus
is present in the sample, it will form complexes with the anti-Group A Streptococcus antibody conjugated color particles located at two
separate locations on the Test Stick. The complex will then be bound by the anti-Group A Streptococcus capture antibody and a visible
blue Test Line will appear to indicate a positive result. A red Control Line will also appear to indicate the test is valid.
