Advantages
- Highest sensitivity and specificity by using recombinant antigens:
Recombinant antigen | recomWell Treponema | Function | Size [kDa] | |
| IgG | IgM | |||
| TP 47 (1, 2) | X | X | Membrane protein | 47 |
| TmpA (1) | - | X | Membrane protein | 42 |
| TP 17 (1, 2) | X | X | Membrane protein | 17 |
| TP 15 (1, 2) | X | X | Membrane protein | 15 |

- Therefore no cross reactions
- Separate detection of IgG and IgM antibodies
- No RF absorption necessary for IgM determination
- Use of single strips possible
Safe and reliable
Fully automatic processing, software-based evaluation and connection to the laboratory information system possible
Flexible and compatible
Combination of all Mikrogen ELISA possible - uniform processing and interchangeable reagents
High Standard
CE mark: The recomWell Treponema tests meet the high standard of the EC Directive 98/79/EC for in vitro diagnostic medical devices.
