STEP 4: ADD TEST STICK AND INCUBATE
Remove the OSOM Test Stick from the canister package. Recap
the canister immediately. Place the absorbent end (indicated
with arrows, see picture) of the Test Stick into the Sample Buffer
solution in the tube. Unused sticks removed from the canister
should be discarded after 1 hour.
STEP 5: READ RESULTS
Read results at 10 minutes (some positive results may be seen
earlier). See interpretation of results section. Test is invalid
beyond the stated read time. Note: To see the Result Window
clearly, remove the Test Stick from the test tube while
reading results.
Discard used test tubes and Test Sticks in suitable
biohazardous waste container.
INTERPRETATION OF TEST RESULTS
The appearance of a red Control Line, with or without a blue Test Line, indicates a valid
result. A blue or red line that appears uneven in color shading is still considered a valid
line. In cases of moderate or high positive specimens, some color behind the Test Line may
be seen. As long as the Test Line and the Control Line are visible, the results are valid.
Positive
A blue Test Line and a red Control Line is a positive result for the detection of Trichomonas
antigen. Note that the red and blue lines can be any shade of that color and can be
lighter or darker than the line in the picture.
Negative
A red Control Line but no blue Test Line is a presumptive negative result. A negative result
means that no Trichomonas antigen was detected, or that the level of the antigen in the
sample was below the detection limit of the assay.
I
nvalid
If no red Control Line appears or background color makes reading the red Control Line
impossible, the result is invalid. If this occurs, repeat the test on a new Test Stick.
