Immunochromatography (ICT)

Immunochromatography (ICT) is a rapid diagnostic technique used to detect specific antigens or antibodies in biological samples. The principle is based on an antigen-antibody reaction, and detection is achieved by forming a visual signal on a test strip. With a team of experienced experts, Alta DiagnoTech provides ICT products such as kits, diagnostic reagents, and related equipment to clients worldwide, which help in medical diagnosis, disease screening, and infection detection.

What is Immunochromatography?

Immunochromatography technology is an analysis method that combines chromatographic techniques with immunoreactivity and can be used to analyze a wide range of sample types, including serum, urine, saliva, and more. The technology allows for the simultaneous detection of multiple analytes or pathogens, increasing diagnostic efficiency, especially in cases with complex disease profiles. Additionally, ICT is widely used in the field of in vitro and clinical diagnostics due to its advantages of being fast, simple and requiring no complex equipment.
