The Typhoid Rapid Test Cassette is a qualitative, membrane-based immunoassay for the detection of antibodies (IgG and IgM) to Salmonella typhi (S. typhi) in human whole blood, serum or plasma. The diagnostic test cassette consists of two components: an IgG component and an IgM component. The IgG line region is pre-coated with reagents for the detection of anti-S. typhi (IgG). The IgM line region is pre-coated with monoclonal anti-human IgM for detection of anti-S. typhi (IgM).

During testing, specimen dispensed into the sample well of the test cassette binds with Typhoid conjugates impregnated in the reagent area, if the specimen contains anti-Typhoid antibodies. The immunocomplex thus formed migrates by capillary action. If the present antibodies in the specimen are of IgG types, the immunocomplex is then captured by the pre-coated reagents on the membrane, forming a colored IgG line, indicating a S. typhi IgG positive test result.

If the present antibodies in the specimen are of IgM type, the immunocomplex would be captured on the membrane by the pre-coated antihuman IgM antibody, forming a colored IgM line, indicating a S. typhi IgM positive test result. The absence of any T lines (IgM and IgG) indicates a negative result. A colored control line (C) should always appear in case of a positive or a negative result. Its absence indicates invalid test results.
