CAPTIA™ Syphilis IgG (EIA with T. pallidum Ag for Detection of IgG Ab)

The Trinity-Biotech CAPTIA™ Syphilis (T. pallidum)-G is an enzyme immunoassay (EIA) for the qualitative detection of IgG antibodies to Treponema pallidum in human serum or plasma. Tests for syphilis fall into four categories: direct microscopic examination, direct antigen tests, treponemal antibody tests and non-treponemal antibody tests. Because of the long periods of dormancy and the nonspecific nature of non-treponemal tests, methods that detect specific anti-treponemal antibodies in patient specimens play a major role in the diagnosis of syphilis. CAPTIA Syphilis (T. pallidum)-G enzyme immunoassay (EIA) is available in a choice of packaging to suit laboratory testing volume.
