Insta-LF™ Rapid-B Kit

Insta-LFTM Rapid-B test serves the rapid identification of human blood for forensic purpose. The identification is based on the detection of cell membrane antigen of erythrocyte in the sample by a specific antigen-antibody reaction. The result is interpreted visually by the appearance of the test line and control line in human blood positive samples. The test is easy to perform and can be performed directly on site.

Most human blood detection tests that are currently available in the market for forensic use, target hemoglobin protein for detection.

CONCERN:

• Hemoglobin targeted lateral flow assay shows cross reaction with few animal bloods, also it shows cross reactivitywith other human body fluids
• Furthermore, hemoglobin targeted lateral flow tests show high‐dose hook effect which can results in false negativeresults when analyte is present in high concentration
• For the precise results, hemoglobin based lateral flow test needs sample dilution and no proper guidelines are givenon dilution factor

SOLUTION:

• To suffice the need of superior blood detection kit, HiMedia has developed erythrocyte cell membrane antigen-based. detection lateral flow test using specificity and sensitivity enhancing conjugation and buffer technology for humanblood identification
• The HiMedia’s lateral flow test shows no cross reactivity with animal blood nor with other human body fluids and also not susceptible to high‐dose hook effect which causes false negative results
