The GIARDIA/CRYPTOSPORIDIUM CHEK^® test is an enzyme immunoassay for the qualitative detection of Giardia cyst and Cryptosporidium oocyst antigen in human fecal specimens. It is indicated for use as an aid in the diagnosis of patients with diarrhea suspected of Giardia and/or Cryptosporidium gastrointestinal infections.

The GIARDIA/CRYPTOSPORIDIUM CHEK uses monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies to cell-surface antigens of Giardia and an oocyst antigen of Cryptosporidium. The Microassay Plate in the kit contains immobilized monoclonal antibodies against the antigens and the Conjugate consists of polyclonal antibodies against the antigens. In the assay, an aliquot of a diluted fecal specimen is transferred to a microassay well.

The immobilized monoclonal antibodies bind the Giardia and Cryptosporidium antigens if they are present. Conjugate is added and binds to any antigen captured by the immobilized antibodies. Unbound materials are removed by washing. Following the addition of Substrate, a color develops in the presence of enzyme-antibody-antigen complexes.
