Method Description Describes how the test is performed and provides a method-specific reference

The GenBio IgM ImmunoDOT Leptosirosis test utilizes an enzyme-linked immunoassay (EIA) dot technique for the detection of IgM antibodies. Leptospira biflexa, serovar Patoc 1 strain antigens are dispensed as discrete dots onto a solid membrane. After adding the test specimen to a reaction cuvette, an assay strip is inserted, allowing patient antibodies reactive with the test antigens to bind to the strip's solid support member. Alkaline phosphatase conjugated goat antihuman IgM antibodies are allowed to react with bound patient antibodies. Finally, the strip is transferred to an enzyme substrate reagent, which reacts with bound alkaline phosphatase to produce an easily seen, distinct spot.(Package insert: ImmunoDOT Leptospira IgM.
