Helicobacter Pylori IgM ELISA Kit

Full Name: Helicobacter Pylori IgM ELISA Kit
Reactivity: Human
Sample Type: Serum, Plasma
Sensitivity: 1.0 U/ml

BACKGROUND

Helicobacter pylori is a bacterium that can cause infections in the stomach and digestive tract. This can lead to the development of painful peptic ulcers. Some of the most common tests that are used to detect H. pylori include: blood antibody test, stool antigen test and stomach biopsy. If a positive test is obtained then treatment needs to be carried out in order to clear the infection, this in many cases will lead to healing the ulcer and also prevent it from returning.

Helicobacter is a spiral shaped organism which also possess a flagella. It contains a potent multi-subunit urease enzyme, allowing it to survive the acidic pH conditions and colonize in the gastric environment. The human body’s natural defence system is unable to combat H. pylori since white and killer T cells are unable to penetrate through the stomach lining, these eventually die and spill their superoxide radicals on the cells lining the stomach, the H. pylori are able to feed on these.

INTENDED USE

Human Helicobacter pylori IgM ELISA kit is a procedure designed for measuring in-vitro amounts of human IgM antibodies to helicobacter pylori (helicobacter pylori-IgM) using serum or plasma samples. This assay has a minimum analytical sensitivity limit of 1.0 U/ml.

CONTENT

All reagents supplied need to be stored at 2 °C – 8 °C, unopened reagents will retain reactivity until expiration date. Do not use reagents beyond this date.

  • Helicobacter pylori antigen coated microtiter strips.
  • Enzyme Conjugate.
  • TMB Substrate.
  • Calibrator A (Negative Control).
  • Calibrator D (Positive Control).
  • Calibrator B (Cut-Off Standard).
  • Calibrator C (Weak Positive Control).
  • Sample Diluent.
  • Washing Buffer (10x).
  • Stop Solution.

SENSITIVITY

The minimum detection sensitivity level of human IgM antibodies directed against helicobacter pylori (helicobacter pylori-IgM) using current helicobacter pylori IgM ELISA kit was 1.0 U/ml. The dynamic range for this assay is 1.0 – 150.0 U/ml.

I am a first time user and found that your instruction manual was very easy to follow. The insulin ELISA assay performed well and I was happy with the results that were generated.

J. Thomas
Senior Technician / Addenbrooke’s Hospital

I carried out a pilot study comparing the performance of many ELISA assay's from different suppliers and found your kits to be one of the better performers. We observed good linearity and tight replicates.
