Background
Dengue is a viral disease caused by the dengue virus, of which four different serotypes have been described. It is mainly transmitted by mosquitoes of the Aedes genus. Traditionally associated with tropical and subtropical regions, dengue remains a major public health challenge due to its wide circulation and the variety of ways in which it can present.
The infection can range from a non-specific febrile illness to severe and potentially life-threatening haemorrhagic forms. It usually begins abruptly with fever, headache, nausea, myalgia, arthralgia or rash, and progresses through different clinical phases. Although many cases are mild, some patients may develop more severe forms, especially in secondary infections or in the presence of certain risk factors.
In this context, timely diagnosis is essential. IgM and IgG ELISA assays have become standard methods for the serological analysis of dengue, as they are simple, reliable techniques suitable for the routine processing of a large number of samples.
Product features
Assays based on the indirect ELISA method, where antibodies present in the sample react with antigens bound to the surface of the wells. Products identified as CAPTURE use µ-Capture technology for IgM detection.
- Direct in-well sample dilution and equivalent processing of samples and controls to help compensate pipetting variability.
- Colour-coded, ready-to-use liquid reagents and individual break-apart wells.
- Suitable for manual processing and compatible with automated ELISA systems.
