Status Strep A Flip is a rapid immunochromatographic assay for the qualitative detection of group A streptococcal antigen directly from throat swabs. The Status Strep A Flip test involves the chemical extraction of group A streptococcal antigen followed by solid-phase immunoassay technology for the detection of extracted antigen. In the test procedure, a throat swab specimen is collected, placed into a mixture of Reagents A and B, and extracted for 1 or 2 minutes. The extract flows to the Sample Well and is allowed to soak in. If group A streptococci are present in the specimen, they will react with anti Strep A indicator antibody coupled to dye particles, migrate through the membrane as antigen antibody dye complexes, bind to the immobilized anti Strep A antibody on the membrane, and generate a colored line in the Test position. The rest of the sample and unbound/bound dye complexes continue to migrate to the Control position where the antibody to the anti Strep A indicator antibody is immobilized. At this line, anti Strep A indicator antibody unbound/ bound dye complexes form a Control line. The presence of two colored lines, one in the Test position and the other in the Control position, indicates a positive result, while the absence of a line in the Test position indicates a negative result.
The control line provides an additional quality control since it will only appear if:
1. The anti strep A antibody on the colloidal gold is active;
2. The proper amount of reagent is added to the extraction well; and
3. The wicking chemistry is working properly.
In the absence of the Control Line, the test should be considered invalid and should be repeated with a new device and a new swab sample.
