Accurate™ Typhoid Antigen Rapid Test Kit – Rapid Detection of Salmonella Typhi & Paratyphi Antigens

The Accurate™ Typhoid Antigen Rapid Test Kit is a rapid immunochromatographic lateral flow assay designed for the qualitative detection of Salmonella Typhi and Salmonella Paratyphi antigens in human fecal specimens. This advanced rapid diagnostic test enables healthcare professionals to identify active typhoid infections quickly and accurately, supporting timely treatment decisions and improved patient outcomes.

Unlike antibody-based typhoid tests, which detect the body's immune response, the Accurate™ Typhoid Antigen Test detects bacterial antigens, making it more useful for identifying current infections, particularly during the early stages of disease.

Designed for professional In-Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) use, the test provides reliable results within 10 minutes without requiring specialized laboratory equipment. Its simple cassette format makes it ideal for hospitals, diagnostic laboratories, clinics, healthcare centres, and field medical programs.

With excellent sensitivity and specificity, this rapid test offers a dependable and cost-effective alternative to conventional culture methods, which often require several days for results.

How the Test Works

The Accurate™ Typhoid Antigen Rapid Test uses immunochromatographic technology to detect specific antigens produced by Salmonella Typhi and Salmonella Paratyphi in stool specimens.

After the processed sample is added to the test cassette, bacterial antigens—if present—bind to specific antibodies within the test membrane, producing a visible coloured test line within approximately 10 minutes.

Because the test detects bacterial antigens, it is designed to identify active infections, making it particularly useful for early diagnosis and clinical management.
