In a case where the test substance is contained in the specimen solution, a composite body of the test substance and the labeling substance is formed through the first substance by binding the test substance to the first substance in the label holding pad 3 ,
試料液中に被検物質が含まれている場合には、標識保持パッド3において、被検物質と第1の物質が結合することにより、第1の物質を介する被検物質と標識物質との複合体が形成され、
and this composite body is spread together with the specimen solution toward the absorption pad 6 side by capillary action due to the suction force of the absorption pad 6 .

[0005] Especially, in medical care situations at a doctor's office, a clinic, home and the like, many immunochromatographic assay apparatuses (immunochromato-readers) are used as assay devices for POCT (Point of Care Testing) care. In POCT, a simple assay is possible without relying on a clinical test specialist.

The immunochromatographic assay apparatus can measure the color-developed state of a reagent in a device loaded into the apparatus at high sensitivity.

ChatGPT:
イムノクロマトグラフ検査 (immunochromatographic assay, ICA) is a type of diagnostic test that utilizes the principles of immunology and chromatography. It is commonly used for rapid and qualitative or semi-quantitative detection of specific substances, such as antigens or antibodies, in a sample. Here's a breakdown of its key features:
Key Features:
-
Immunological Basis:
- The test relies on the specific binding between antigens and antibodies to detect the presence of a target substance (e.g., a pathogen, biomarker, or drug).
-
Chromatographic Process:
- The sample flows along a test strip by capillary action, passing through various zones containing reagents such as antibodies or antigens immobilized on the strip.
-
Rapid Results:
- Results are typically available within minutes, making it highly suitable for point-of-care testing (POCT).
-
Common Formats:
- The lateral flow assay (LFA) is the most common type, used in devices like pregnancy tests, COVID-19 rapid antigen tests, or tests for infectious diseases (e.g., malaria, influenza).
-
Advantages:
- Simple, user-friendly, portable, and does not require sophisticated equipment or extensive technical expertise.
-
Applications:
- Clinical diagnostics: Detecting infections, hormones, drugs, or markers for chronic diseases.
- Food safety: Identifying contaminants or allergens.
- Environmental monitoring: Testing for pollutants or pathogens.
Example:
A common example is the rapid antigen test for COVID-19, where a sample (nasal swab or saliva) is applied to a test strip. If the target antigen is present, it binds to specific antibodies on the strip, producing a visible line to indicate a positive result.
あなた:
Is it also called "immunochromatographic testing"?
ChatGPT:
Yes, イムノクロマトグラフ検査 can be called immunochromatographic testing in English. This term is commonly used to describe the technique in general contexts, especially in clinical and diagnostic fields. However, it may also be referred to more specifically as an immunochromatographic assay (ICA) or immunochromatographic analysis depending on the context and the specificity required.
For example:
- Immunochromatographic testing is used in broader or layman descriptions.
- Immunochromatographic assay is often used in scientific or technical discussions.
Both terms are correct, and the choice of wording depends on the level of formality and the intended audience.
