C. DIFF QUIK CHEK COMPLETE (#T30525C)

Features

The C. DIFF QUIK CHEK COMPLETE ® test is a rapid membrane enzyme immunoassay for the simultaneous detection of Clostridium difficile glutamate dehydrogenase antigen and toxins A and B in a single reaction well.

The test is to be used as an aid in the diagnosis of C. difficile disease.


C. DIFF QUIK CHEK COMPLETE ®:

  • Screens for the presence of C. difficile
  • Detects C. difficile antigen and toxin
  • Confirms the presence of toxins A and/or B

Results should be considered in conjunction with the patient history.

Advantages of C.DIFF QUIK ®:
 

  • Filters the sample
The QUIK CHEK™ device upflow technology utilizes porous pads and porous membranes to filter the insoluble material typically present in fecal samples to avoid clogging. Lateral flow devices rely on uniform sample flow for proper test performance, and the membranes can clog easily, resulting in inconsistent sample flow and test failure.
  • Washes the membrane 
The QUIK CHEK™ device upflow technology also includes a wash step to remove any unbound material away from the test line, increasing clarity and reducing background noise.
  • Amplifies the signal

Finally, the QUIK CHEK™ device upflow technology uses antibody-peroxidase conjugates to enzymatically amplify the signal strength, for quick and confident interpretation of results. In lateral flow devices, antibody particles, either gold or latex, offer no possibility for enzymatic signal amplification.

QUIK CHEK® technology:
Accuracy matters. A patient’s health may depend on it. Even with complex fecal samples, the clean background and clear signal of the QUIK CHEK™ device upflow technology provide fast, reliable results.
