Aspergillus Antigen
(Galactomannan) - Rapid Test

This Rapid Test is for the detection of specific Aspergillus Galactomannan Antigen in Serum or Bronchoalveolar Lavage (BAL).

This product is manufactured by GaDia Diagnostics in Switzerland and distributed in Germany exclusively by Milenia Biotec.

The principle of the test is colloidal gold immunochromatography. If the sample is positive, the antigens in the sample react with the red-colored nanoparticles and form a complex (Antigen – anti-Aspergillus monoclonal antibodies – gold nanoparticles), which was previously pre-dried on the conjugate pad. The mixture then moves upward on the membrane by capillary action. As the sample flows through the test membrane, the binding conjugate complexes migrate. The anti-Aspergillus antibodies present on the membrane (Test Line) capture the colored conjugate complex and a red line will appear.
