Recombigen RPR Carbon Slide Flocculation - Pack of 50 (BC-505795-050)

The Recombigen RPR test uses the Carbon Slide Flocculation method to detect reagin antibodies in serum or plasma, which are produced in response to syphilis infection caused by the bacterium Treponema pallidum. The presence of these antibodies is a key indicator of syphilis and can be used for screening purposes or to monitor the progression of the disease. The test involves mixing the serum sample with carbon-coated antigens. If reagin antibodies are present, they will bind to the antigens, causing a visible flocculation (clumping) reaction, which can be observed on a slide. This test is rapid, simple to perform, and commonly used for syphilis screening.
