How to Perform Ebola Virus:

A blood sample was taken. IgM detection by ELISA method, PCR Test from blood, Immunohistochemistry in Dead Patients.

The procedure of the Ebola virus Test:

• First of all, staff who collect specimens should wear appropriate PPE and collect 3 to 5ml blood in an EDTA Tube or gel tube.
• Centrifuge the blood sample and separate the Serum or plasma.
• Use the plasma for the test. Now micropipette applies five microliters of plasma or whole blood to the one area indicated in the arrow line.
• Add two drops of sample Into the device to well marked as.
• Start the timer and read the results at 20 minutes of the double line showing into the device then the test will be positive otherwise test will be negative.

Result:

• Positive: Visible IgG and IgM Test Lines.
• Negative: Invisible test lines about IgM or IgG.
