What is the ASI CRP Slide Test
What is the ASI CRP Slide Test? correct answers It is a slide agglutination assay for
the qualitative and semi- quantitative detection of C-reactive protein (CRP) in human
serum
Do you need to dilute initial patient samples? correct answers No
Elevated levels of CRP are known to be sensitive indicators of: correct answers
inflammation associated with the acute phases of such diseases as rheumatic fever,
rheumatoid arthritis and most bacterial and some viral infections.
True or False
The serum CRP level tends to appear sooner and also subside faster than an elevated
Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR)1. correct answers True
True or False
Monitoring the CRP level may provide valuable information on the progress of a
disorder and its treatment. correct answers True
What are the reagents being used? correct answers 1. LATEX REAGENT - Suspended
inert latex particles coated with anti-CRP, with 0.1% sodium azide as preservative.
2. GLYCINE-SALINE SOLUTION - Glycine buffer in saline, with 0.1% sodium azide as
preservative.
3. CONTROLS REACTIVE, NONREACTIVE - Human serum or defibrinated plasma
(liquid), with 0.1% sodium azide as preservative.
What is the ASI CRP Slide Test based on the immunologic agglutination reaction
between correct answers CRP as antigen and the corresponding antibody coated on
the surface of biologically inert latex particles. The CRP latex reagent is prepared to
provide a sensitivity (detectable limit) of 6 mg/L and a specificity of >95%.
What do GLYCINE-SALINE SOLUTION and CONTROLS contain correct answers
contain sodium azide. Azides in contact with lead and copper plumbing may react to
form highly explosive metal azides. When disposing of reagents containing azide, flush
down the drain with large quantities of water to prevent azide buildup
What do the ASI CRP CONTROLS contain correct answers human serum or plasma
which has been tested at the donor level for HBsAg and for HIV-1, HIV-2 and HCV
antibodies and found to be nonreactive.
Should the ASI CRP CONTROLS be considered potentinally infectious? correct
answers no known test offers complete assurance that infectious agents are absent, the
