Rapid test Sulfur Mustard
 |
Securetec developed an on-site test for emergency diagnosis with the
typical DrugWipe® features
Intended Use
Using the Sulfur Mustard Detector, medical staff can determine if a patient has been exposed to the chemical weapon mustard gas and derive protective measures. The Sulfur Mustard Detector specifically detects mustard gas by means of a skin smear test (not applicable for other surfaces). The analysis provides a qualitative result. The Sulfur Mustard Detector can only be used once. The test can only be used for in-vitro diagnostics.
Test principle
The Sulfur Mustard Detector is based on an immunological process. Free Sulfur Mustard on skin surface is absorbed by the moistened sampling pad. The sampling pad transmits the specimen to the test strip. On the test strip, there are Sulfur Mustard-specific antibodies colored with a red label. Sulfur Mustard absorbed by the wiper binds the antibodies.
The test contains an integrated ampoule filled with liquid. The test starts once the ampoule is crushed and the liquid is released The liquid carries the antibody-bound analytes towards the test line. The test line turns visibly red. The test is only valid if the control line is also coloured in red. After 10 minutes, the test can be evaluated.
