TOXO IgG Avidity

Product Description

The Toxo 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 the Toxoplasma gondii (Toxo) 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 Toxoplasmosis.

  • Complete panel for identification of the infection to Toxoplasmosis.
  • Significant sensitivity of the IgG test allows to evaluate the seroconversion follow-up.
  • The Avidity assay can be run in the early stage of acute infection due to the high sensitivity of the IgG test
