Leptospira IgM ELISA KIT

The Leptospira IgM ELISA KIT  is an indirect, solid-phase enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The two main kit components are:

1) A 96 breakable well plate with the solid microwells pre-coated with L. interrogans antigen.

2) Liquid conjugates composed of monoclonal anti-human IgM reagent conjugated with horseradish peroxidase (HRP-anti-human IgM conjugates).

This test is intended to be used for the qualitative detection of IgM anti-Leptospira interrogans (L. interrogans) in human serum or plasma. It is intended to be used by professionals as an aid in the diagnosis of acute infection with L. interrogans. Any interpretation or use of this test result must also rely on other clinical findings as well as on the professional judgment of health care providers.
