INTRODUCTION
The PSA gold Rapid Screen Test (RST) is a Chromatographic immunoassay (CIA) for direct qualitative detection of prostate specific antigen (PSA) in human serum/plasma or whole blood.
REAGENTS AND MATERIALS PROVIDED
1. One pouched cassette with desiccant.
2. One piece of operating instruction.
3. One bottle of whole blood chasing buffe
WARNING AND PRECAUTIONS
1. FOR IN VITRO DIAGNOSTIC USES ONLY
2. All patient samples should be treated as if capable of transmitting diseases.
3. Do not interchange reagents from different lots or use test kit beyond expiration date.
4. Icteric, lipemic, hemolysed, heat treated and contaminated sera may cause erroneous results.
SAMPLE COLLECTION AND PREPARATION
Whole Blood
Have a certified phlebotomist collect whole blood into a purple, blue or green top collection tube (containing EDTA, citrate or heparin, respectively) by veinpuncture.
Carefully withdraw the blood for testing, or label and store it at 2-8°C for up to two weeks.
Plasma
Have a certified phlebotomist collect whole blood into a purple, blue or green top collection tube (containing EDTA, citrate or heparin, respectively) by veinpuncture.
Separate the plasma by centrifugation.
Carefully withdraw the plasma for testing, or label and store it at 2-8°C for up to two weeks. Plasma may be frozen at -20°C for up to one year.
Serum
1. Have a certified phlebotomist collect whole blood into a red top collection tube (containing no anticoagulants) by veinpuncture.
2. Allow the blood to clot.
3. Separate the serum by centrifugation.
4. Carefully withdraw the serum for testing or label and store it at 2-8°C for up to two weeks. Serum may be frozen at -20°C for up to one year.
ASSAY PROCEDURE
Add 70-100ul or 2-3 drops of serum/plasma into the sample well. For whole blood tests, add 1~2 drops of whole blood into the sample well and then add 1~2 drops of chasing buffer into the sample well. Observe the result in 10 –20 minutes.
