Procedure at a glance5 steps

Bring the sample and the strip to room temperature.
Pipette about 200 µl of sample into the bottom of an 8 × 75 mm test tube, without wetting the walls.
Stand the strip in the tube, sample end down, up to the arrow mark, and leave it until the control line has fully formed.
Read at 5 to 20 minutes, once the background is clear; never after 30 minutes.
C only is negative; C and T is positive for Treponema pallidum antibodies; no C line means the test is invalid.
