RAPID TEST FOR THE QUALITATIVE AND/OR QUANTITATIVE ANALYSIS OF ANTIBODIES AGAINST HUMAN PAPILLOMA VIRUSES (HPV) PRESENT IN BODY FLUID, AND DEVICE FOR CARRYING OUT THE RAPID TEST

摘要

The invention relates to a rapid test and to a device for the qualitative and/or quantitative analysis of antibodies against human papilloma viruses (HPV) present in body fluid. The rapid test provides that a body fluid specimen be mixed with a reagent (14), which essentially consists of a predetermined quantity of a physiologically active fluid and a predetermined quantity of at least one HPV-specific antigen, and that subsequently the mixture be subjected to an analysis, which utilizes a measurable change and/or a change that can be observed by a user. The device for carrying out the rapid test provides for a receptacle (2) for receiving the reagent (14), in which body fluid from a patient specimen can be added to the reagent (14). Furthermore, the device provides for an analysis system (4), which utilizes a measurable change and/or a change that can be observed by a user and which is designed to receive a predetermined quantity of a substrate that is present in the receptacle (2).
