Ragweed Allergy Rapid Test

The Ragweed Allergy Rapid Test is suitable for the qualitative detection of ragweed-specific immunoglobulin E (sIgE) in human serum, plasma or whole blood. Together with the test and other clinical findings, it is possible to identify an allergy caused by type I hypersensitivity mediated by ragweed-specific immunoglobulin E (IgE).

Allergy is a common health problem that affects approximately 20-25% of people and involves immediate hypersensitivity reactions, which present as hay fever, urticaria, eczema, gastrointestinal disorders, wheezing and, rarely, anaphylactic shock. The term allergy is often used for type I hypersensitivity reactions (immediate reactions), the symptoms of which usually appear within 30-60 minutes after contact with the allergen.

The allergens that trigger type I hypersensitivity reactions are primarily proteins from the natural environment, e.g. plant pollen, animal dander, foods, mites and insect venom. Type I allergy is characterized by the involvement of allergen-specific immunoglobulin E (antibodies) (sIgE). Therefore, the detection of sIgE is an important tool in modern allergy diagnostics.

Ragweeds are flowering plants of the genus Ambrosia in the aster family (Asteraceae). Ragweed pollen is a common allergen. A single plant can produce approximately one billion pollen grains per season, which are carried by the wind. Ragweed is responsible for about half of the cases of pollen-induced allergic rhinitis in North America, where the plant is most widespread and diverse.

Test procedure

Read the Instructions for Use carefully before performing the test. Before testing, allow the test, the sample and/or the controls to reach room temperature (15-30°C).

1. Remove the test from the sealed pouch and place it on a clean, level surface. Label the test with the patient or control ID. For best results, the assay should be performed within one hour after opening.

2.A For serum or plasma samples:

Hold the pipette vertically and dispense 2 drops of serum or plasma (approx. 50 μL) into the sample well (S) of the test, then start the timer.

2.B For whole blood samples:

Hold the pipette vertically and dispense 3 drops of blood (approx. 75 μL) into the sample well (S) of the test, then add 1 drop of buffer (approx. 40 μL) and start the timer.

Avoid trapping air bubbles in the sample well (S), and do not apply any solution to the result area. As the test begins to work, color migrates across the membrane.

3. Wait for the colored lines to appear. The result should be read at 10 minutes. Do not interpret the result after 15 minutes.
