The BioPlex Syphilis Total & RPR kit is a multiplex flow immunoassay intended for the qualitative detection of total (IgG/IgM) antibodies to Treponema pallidum and the qualitative detection and/or titer determination of non-treponemal reagin antibodies in human serum or plasma. The Syphilis Total or RPR assays may be used to supplement a previously determined reactive treponemal or non-treponemal test. The test system should be used in conjunction with other laboratory tests and clinical findings to aid in the diagnosis of syphilis infection.
The BioPlex 2200 Syphilis Total & RPR kit is not intended for use in screening blood or plasma donors
The BioPlex 2200 Syphilis Total & RPR kit is intended for use with the Bio-Rad BioPlex 2200 System.
The BioPlex 2200 Syphilis Total & RPR Control Set is intended for use as an assayed quality control to monitor the performance of the BioPlex 2200 Instrument and BioPlex 2200 Syphilis Total & RPR assay in the clinical laboratory. The performance of the BioPlex 2200 Syphilis Total & RPR Control Set has not been established with any other Syphilis Total & RPR assays.
The BioPlex 2200 Syphilis Total & RPR Calibrator Set is intended for the calibration of the BioPlex 2200 Syphilis Total & RPR Reagent Pack.
