Application of our New IgG ELISA Test Kits for Ebola, Marburg, and Sudan Viruses

Advancing Filovirus Surveillance and Public Health

Filoviruses, including Ebola, Sudan, and Marburg viruses, are a group of viruses known for causing severe hemorrhagic fevers in humans and nonhuman primates. These viruses are primarily found in sub-Saharan Africa, where they have caused several significant outbreaks.

Ebola virus, for instance, has several strains, with the Zaire strain being the most deadly. Sudan virus and Marburg virus also cause similar symptoms, such as fever, bleeding, and organ failure. Transmission typically occurs through direct contact with body fluids of infected individuals or animals.

Due to their severe impact on public health, filoviruses are a significant focus of research and global health initiatives aiming at developing effective treatments and vaccines.

Recently we released our new IgG ELISA test kits for Ebola, Marburg, and Sudan viruses (Research Use Only).

This development marks a significant step forward in the field of filovirus surveillance, addressing critical gaps and enhancing global capacities to monitor these deadly pathogens.

Effective surveillance is essential for several reasons:

Early Outbreak Detection.

It helps in the early identification of outbreaks, allowing for timely intervention and containment measures.

Epidemic Preparedness.

Continuous monitoring aids in understanding the virus’s spread and mutation patterns, which is crucial for developing effective vaccines and treatments.

Public Health Response.

Effective surveillance systems enable health authorities to allocate resources efficiently and implement control measures to prevent widespread transmission

Our new ELISA test kits are designed to meet these needs with unparalleled precision and reliability.

Key Features of Our New ELISA Test Kits

• High Sensitivity and Specificity: Our ELISA test kits are engineered to detect IgG antibodies with exceptional accuracy. This high level of sensitivity and specificity ensures the reliable identification of past infections, which is crucial for understanding the spread and impact of these viruses.
• Comprehensive Coverage: We have launched the kits detecting antibodies against Ebola, Marburg, and Sudan viruses. This comprehensive coverage provides a robust solution for the differential evaluation of samples, allowing researchers to distinguish between these closely related viruses effectively.
• Powerful Core Technology Reduces Cross-Reactivity: Utilizing our patented technology, these tests significantly minimize cross-reactivity with other viral infections. This targeted approach enhances the precision of the test results, ensuring that the detection of antibodies is specific to the filoviruses in question.

Our contribution

We were pleased to work with the the scientists at the Kumasi Center for Collaborative Research (KCCR) in Ghana pre-release to note that they are already seeing excellent results with our Marburg IgG ELISA Kit in their research. We take pride in being one of the pioneers in the field of tropical infectious diseases and in being able to contribute to the advancement of research in such extremely dangerous diseases.
