About this test
What This Test Measures
The test detects Mpox virus antigen A29L in a swab sample.
Mpox virus antigen A29L
A29L is a viral antigen associated with Mpox virus. Detecting this antigen may support professional assessment when mpox infection is suspected.
This test provides a qualitative result. It does not measure viral load and does not provide a quantitative antigen level.
Target Audience
This test is intended for healthcare professionals who need a rapid Mpox antigen screening tool for use within healthcare settings.
It may be relevant when mpox is being considered based on symptoms, exposure history or clinical assessment.
How It Works
1. Order the Kit
The kit is ordered for professional use in healthcare settings.
2. Collect the Sample
A swab sample is collected according to the included instructions.
3. Run the Test
The sample is prepared and applied to the test cassette according to the test procedure.
4. Read the Result
The result is read within 15 minutes, according to the included instructions.
Sample Collection
The test uses a swab sample. Depending on symptoms and the included instructions, the sample may be collected from skin lesion exudate or the throat.
Sample collection, handling and result interpretation should be performed by healthcare professionals according to the included instructions and applicable professional procedures.
Preparation Before Testing
Bring the test components and sample to room temperature before use, according to the included instructions.
Follow the included test instructions and applicable professional procedures for sample collection, preparation, timing and result interpretation. Testing should be performed under appropriate professional guidance.
Symptoms and Clinical Context
Mpox may be associated with symptoms such as fever, headache, muscle aches, fatigue, swollen lymph nodes and skin rash or lesions.
Symptoms can vary between individuals. In some cases, general symptoms may appear before the rash or lesions develop. Assessment should consider symptoms, exposure history, timing of illness and other relevant clinical findings.
Important Limitations
This test is intended as a screening tool and provides qualitative detection of Mpox virus antigen A29L. It does not provide a quantitative antigen level and does not replace clinical evaluation.
The test should not be used as the only criterion for confirming or excluding mpox infection. Results should be interpreted by healthcare professionals together with symptoms, exposure history, clinical findings and any additional testing when relevant.
A negative result does not exclude mpox infection, especially if the sample is collected incorrectly, collected at an unsuitable stage of infection or if antigen levels are below the detectable limit of the test. Further assessment or additional testing may be needed when clinical suspicion remains.
Biomarkers included
- Monkeypox virus A29L antigen: The Monkeypox virus A29L antigen is a surface protein associated with the monkeypox virus (Mpox), a zoonotic virus that can be transmitted from animals to humans and between individuals. Detection of the A29L antigen in a sample indicates an active infection, as antigens are typically present during the early symptomatic phase of the illness.
How to prepare
