Product Overview

The Entamoeba histolytica Antigen Rapid Test is a qualitative immunoassay for the rapid detection of Entamoeba histolytica antigens in fecal samples. This point-of-care test provides a quick and easy method for diagnosing amoebiasis, a parasitic infection affecting the intestines. The test utilizes a lateral flow immunoassay format, offering results within minutes. Early and accurate diagnosis of amoebiasis is crucial for prompt treatment and preventing severe complications such as amoebic dysentery and liver abscess. This test aids in the rapid identification of E. histolytica infection, enabling healthcare providers to initiate appropriate treatment and implement control measures, thereby reducing morbidity and mortality associated with this parasitic disease. The test is designed for use in various settings, including clinics, hospitals, and laboratories, particularly in resource-limited areas where rapid diagnostic capabilities are critical.
