Arbovirus Viramed -Model IgG and IgM -Protein Microarrays for the Qualitative Detection
The Arbovirus ViraChip® IgG and IgM are protein microarrays for the qualitative detection of IgG and IgM antibodies against Zika virus, Dengue virus and Chikungunya virus in human serum. As a miniaturized immunoblots based on an enzyme immunoassay, the Arbovirus ViraChip® IgG and IgM use purified envelope proteins and non-structural proteins from Zika virus, Dengue virus and Chikungunya virus. The Arbovirus ViraChip® IgG and IgM Test Kits are composed of 96 single breakable wells each placed in a standard microtiter plate. The test procedure can be performed with common ELISA processors. The ViraChip® Software controls the entire process including the analysis of the test results.
Analysis of 3 different Arbovirus infections in one well
Differentiation of Zika virus infections from Dengue virus and Chikungunya virus
Non-structural proteins
Antibodies against the non-structual protein NS1 are known to be highly specific for Zika virus and Denguevirus, respectively
Envelope antigens
The envelope (E) proteins represent a primary target of neutralizing antibody responses. The use of virus specific fragments (Ei, EIII, EIII*) improves the reactivity of the Arbovirus ViraChip® IgG and IgM test.
All relevant controls are integrated within the Arbovirus ViraChip® IgG and IgM test
Safe interpretation according to guidelines and recommendations in the laboratory routine
Fully automated procedure on ELISA processors
Automated evaluation with the ViraChip® Software
