By launching a complete ToRCH EIA panel, ACON offers the flexibility of routine screening of pregnant women to prevent serious consequences to the fetus and newborn children. In addition, diagnosis of a previous or recent ToRCH infection can aid in patient management and treatment including patients with compromised immune systems, such as those who have had organ or bone marrow transplants, undergoing chemotherapy and those that have HIV/AIDS. All ToRCH EIA tests have been standardized using the same procedure and reagent volumes. The ToRCH EIA tests also feature specimen verification which changes the solution from green to blue to confirm that the specimen has been added and reduce procedural errors. Results are available within 70 minutes which can be performed both manually and on automated sample processors.

ACON ToRCH EIA Test Kits utilize the indirect method for IgG detection and the immunocapture method for IgM detection allowing for high sensitivity and specificity. The presence of IgM antibodies indicates current or recent infection, while the presence and level of IgG antibodies indicates immunity and prevention of reinfection. Additionally, the tests include a 96 microwell plate with breakaway 8-well strips as well as ready to use reagents which have been color-coded and numbered. A 12 month shelf life allows for consistent and reliable performance. ACON ToRCH EIA Test Kits provide convenient procedure and reliable results at competitive pricing compared to other manufacturers.

ACON is committed to developing a wide range of product offerings to further expand the Immunoassay product line including other infectious disease tests such as H. pylori and Dengue, tumor markers and thyroid, providing customers with the convenience of "One-Stop Shopping".
