Method Principle

The test consists of two separate sticks, one for Toxin A and one for Toxin B. Each stick is equipped with a monoclonal anti-toxin antibody conjugated with colloidal gold. Here is how it works:

1. The stool sample is added to the wells of the card.


2. 
   The sample migrates along the membrane and, if present, the antigen binds to the monoclonal antibodies.
   


3. 
   This complex reacts with the polyclonal antibodies in the reaction zone, producing a pink-colored band.
   


4. 
   In the absence of the antigen, no band will appear, but the control band will confirm the correct functioning of the test.
