The PrioCHECK™ Trichinella Antibody ELISA is a highly sensitive and specific ELISA for the detection of antibodies against Trichinella in serum and meat juice samples of pigs. No cross reactivity with commonly found pig parasites has been observed.

Test procedure
The PrioCHECK™ Trichinella Antibody ELISA is a diagnostic kit based on ELISA technology. It follows a four-step protocol consisting of sample preparation, sample incubation, conjugate incubation, and detection. Serum or meat juice samples are incubated in an ELISA plate coated with the Trichinella E/S antigen. Anti-Trichinella antibodies present in the sample bind to the antigen. Plates are then washed and an anti-swine antibody labeled with horse radish peroxidase (HRP) is used to detect antibodies bound to the E/S antigen. Color development using mittels tetramethyl-benzidine (TMB) substrate measured optically at a wavelength of 450 nm shows the presence of antibodies directed against Trichinella spp.
