ImmunoComb®
The ImmunoComb® line of products from Alere are rapid EIA (Enzyme Immunoassays) for the detection of antibodies or antigens in human serum or plasma. ImmunoComb® products consist of a solid-phase EIA. The solid phase is a plastic comb with 12 teeth, sensitized at different spots with reactive materials and an internal control. The test is performed in a quick and easy procedure by advancing the comb from row-to-row at specific intervals. Results are visible within minutes, appearing as gray-blue spots on the surface of the comb's teeth. Reading the test results may be done visually or with the Orgenics CombScan III™ optical scanner, also available through Alere.
