The World's First Alpha Thalassemia
Immunochromatographic Strip Test
Alpha Thalessemia-1
IC strip test for Alpha Thalassemia detection
- 10-minute results
- High sensitivity and specificity
- Easy to use, quick, and cost-effective
- Uses whole blood
- No special equipment required
Performance characteristic*
| Types of Thalassemia and hemoglobinophaties | Results | Accuracy |
| 1. α-thalassemia 1, Hb H and CSEA Bart's | Positive | >99.90% |
| 2. Homozygous α-thalassemia 2 | Positive | >99.90% |
| 3. Heterozygous α-thalassemia 2 | Positive | 82.93% |
| 4. Hb E Homozygote+Heterozygote | Negative | >99.90% |
| 5. Beta thalassemia (all types) | Negative | 74.42% |
| 6. Normal | Negative | 97.42% |
Sensitivity: 96.41%* / Specificity: 95.47%
Note: *Sensitivity was calculated from the population of expected positive result of α-thalassemia 1 and α-thalassemia 2
In some cases, heterozygous α-thalassemia 2 has few amount of Hb Bart's that cannot be detected by this test. Tested performed by Prof. Suthat Fucharoen MD., Thalassemia Research Center, Institute of Science and Technology for Research
and Development, Mahidol University, Salaya Campus, THAILAND
- Storage at condition 4 ํC-30 ํC
- Hemolysis blood sample by mixing 200 ul of EDTA blood sample with 200 μl of Lysis buffer in a tube.
