The MycoMEIA® Aspergillus Assay (MycoMEIA) is a sandwich enzyme immunoassay (EIA) that detects Aspergillus antigens in urine. The assay uses two mouse monoclonal antibodies that recognize galactofuranose (galf) epitopes. Both monoclonal antibodies are used to coat the wells of the microplate to bind the antigen, and to detect the antigen bound to the sensitized microplate as horseradish-peroxidase conjugates. 25X Concetrated Wash solution is diluted to wash the asssay plates.
A collection of reagents and other associated materials intended to be used for the qualitative and/or quantitative detection of galactomannan antigens from multiple species of the fungus Aspergillus, which may include Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus flavus, Aspergillus terreus and/or Aspergillus fumigatus, in a clinical specimen, using an enzyme immunoassay (EIA) method.
