Candida albicans & Trichomonas Combo Rapid test kit (Immunochromatographic Assay)

Step 1: Sampling
Insert the Swab into the inside of the vagina , and rotate for 20sec. Pull the swab out carefully.
*Put the swab into the extraction tube, if the test may be run immediately. If immediate testing is not possible, the patient samples should be placed in a dry transport tube for storage or transport. The swabs may be stored for 24 hours at room temperature (15-30℃) or 1 week at 4℃ or no more than 6 months at -20℃. All specimens should be allowed to reach a room temperature of 15-30℃ before testing.

Step 2: Testing
1. Remove the film of the buffer tube.
2. Remove the swab from its packaging for running the test. After taking the swab sample, insert the swab into the buffer tube and plunge the swab up and down in the fluid for a minimum of 15 seconds, then hold the swab against the bottom of the tube and rotate it 5 times, taking care not to splash the contents out of the tube.
3. Remove the swab while squeezing the sides of the tube to extract the liquid from the swab. Throw the swab into the biohazard waste bag. Press the nozzle cap firmly onto the buffer tube containing the processed sample. Mix thoroughly by swirling or flicking the bottom of the tube.
4. Tear off the foil bag, take out the test cassette and place it on a clean and flat surface. Gently squeeze the tube and dispense two or three drops of the processed specimen (about 100 uL) into the sample well. Start counting.

Step 3: Reading
15 mins later, read the results visually. (Note: do NOT read the results after 20 mins!)
