TOXO IgM

Product Description

The Toxo IgM test is a chemiluminescent two-step capture immunoassay (CLIA), for use on IDS automated analyzers, for quantitative determination of specific IgM class antibodies directed against the Toxoplasma gondii (Toxo) in samples of human serum or plasma (K3-EDTA, Sodium Citrate).

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

  • Complete panel for the identification of the Toxoplasmosis infection
  • Significant sensitivity in the primary infection of the IgM test (capture method)
  • Significant specificity of the IgM test allows the detection of early infection
