VDRL, RPR and TPHA Syphilis Test Kits

The RPR Carbon antigen aggregates in the presence of Reagin antibodies in serum or plasma The RPR test enables confirmation of an active infection before starting treatment,. RPR tests are also commonly used to check the on-going treatment of a Syphilis infection.

The TPHA test for syphilis (Treponema pallidum haemagglutination assay) employs preserved avian erythrocytes coated with antigens of T. pallidum, which bind with TP antibodies present in patient’s serum or plasma. TPHA is an indirect hemagglutination test for qualitative and semi-quantitative detection of TP antibodies, no agglutination generally indicates absence of TP antibodies.
