Rubella IgG Avidity

Product Description

The Rubella IgG Avidity test is a chemiluminescent immunoassay (CLIA), for use on IDS automated analyzers, for determination of Avidity Index of specific IgG class antibodies directed against Rubella virus in samples of human serum or plasma (K3-EDTA, Sodium Citrate). The possibility of differentiating antibodies at high avidity from low avidity allows to supply interesting clinical information.

This assay is used as a diagnostic aid when assessing immunity status of patients related to Rubella virus infection.

  • Complete panel for the diagnosis of Rubella with IgG, IgM and IgG Avidity testing
  • The Avidity assay can be run in early stage of acute infections due to the high sensitivity of the IgG tests.
