IgY(ΔFc) Antibody derived Snake Venom Rapid Test Kit
Snakebite is an important public health problem causing considerable morbidity and mortality worldwide, particularly in rural areas of Africa, Asia, etc. Bites by venomous snakes can lead to varied clinical manifestations. The success of therapy usually depends on the snake species involved. However, if venom from the wrong species is selected, the antivenom will not be effective against the effects of bites, and will consequently cause the excess use of snake antivenom immunoglobulins which leads to a significant increase in the medical. Therefore, the identification of snake species is of prime importance. Various immunoassays have been developed for the detection of snake venom. Among all these methods, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) remains the most widely used. However, ELISA and most of the other existing immune-assays all suffer from interference due to the use of mammalian primary and secondary antibodies. These assays are also rather time-consuming as well as laborious; making them inconvenient and unavailable to use in the rural areas of developing countries. The risk of snakebite envenoming is a public health hazard that many people in the rural tropics face on a daily basis. The unavailability of detecting which snake species are involved, and further failed to provide proper/timely treatment of victims especially in rural tropical countries has become a critical health issue at the global level.
The New Generation One-Step, Visual Snake Venom POCT Kit
Good Biotech’s snake venom rapid test kit is an immunochromatography, one-step, visual rapid test kit for the specific diagnosis of the snake species. This ready-to-use kit is intended for rapid diagnosing snake toxins of medical emergencies, suitable for use even for the poor rural areas in developing countries where medical resources are often sparse. The kit is “the first in class” which offers significant clinical advantages such as:
- Easy-to-use
- Inexpensive
- Immediate point-of-case test of snake toxins
- Availability of reliable results
Breakthrough IgY(ΔFc) Antibody Technology Improves Snake Venom Diagnosis
Good Biotech’s IgY(ΔFc) antibody-derived snake venom rapid test kit is a first-of-its-kind diagnosis technology, enabling victims/healthcare professionals to more quickly specific diagnosis (simple/3-5 minutes) compared to current methods (complex/laborious). The unique IgY(ΔFc) antibodies were employed in this test system, empowering precisely identification of specific venom in a particular geographical area. With the rapid diagnosis of this kit, monospecific snake antivenom immunoglobulin can be used for the therapy, offering benefit including reducing the medical cost, avoidance of excessive use of antivenoms which can cause severe side effects by receiving a large dose of antivenom. On top of this, detection of snake venom and knowing the exact circulating venom needed will be of much benefit in many countries where snake bite is endemic and snake antivenom immunoglobulins are always in short supply.
