The principle is to fix a specific antibody to a certain zone of the nitrocellulose membrane. After one end of the membrane is immersed in the sample (urine), the sample will move forward along the membrane due to capillary action. When moving to the region where the antibody is immobilized, the corresponding antigen in the sample specifically binds to the antibody. The immunocolloidal gold can be used to display a certain color in the area to achieve a specific immunodiagnosis. Not suitable for the crowd There are no special taboos.
