Brucella Antibody Rapid Test

 (Colloidal Gold Method) 

What is the Brucella Antibody Rapid Test ?

The Brucella Antibody Rapid Test (Colloidal Gold Method) is an advanced diagnostic tool used to detect antibodies against Brucella bacteria, responsible for the zoonotic disease brucellosis. This rapid test utilizes colloidal gold technology to deliver fast and accurate results for brucellosis detection. It is primarily used in veterinary diagnostics to identify brucellosis in livestock, but it also plays a role in human diagnostics in areas with a high prevalence of the disease.

​How Does the Colloidal Gold Method Work ? 

The Colloidal Gold Method is an immunochromatographic assay that involves the use of gold nanoparticles conjugated with antibodies specific to the Brucella antigen. When a sample is added to the test device, if Brucella antibodies are present in the sample, they bind to the gold-conjugated antibodies. This binding causes a visible color change, which provides a quick and reliable indication of a positive result.

The Test Components :

  • Gold-Conjugated Antibodies : Special antibodies bound to gold particles that specifically bind with Brucella antibodies.
  • Test Device : A small, portable strip that reacts with the sample and provides results visually.
  • Sample Type : Blood, serum, or plasma collected from animals or humans. 

Advantages of the Brucella Antibody Rapid Test (Colloidal Gold Method)

  • Quick and Reliable Results : Provides results in just 15 minutes, making it a highly efficient diagnostic tool for field testing and on-site diagnostics.
  • High Sensitivity and Specificity : Minimizes the risk of false positives and false negatives, ensuring accurate brucellosis detection.
  • User-Friendly : The test requires minimal training, allowing for easy use in various settings, including veterinary clinics and rural areas.
  • Portable and Affordable : Unlike traditional lab-based methods, the colloidal gold rapid test is compact and cost-effective, making it ideal for use in remote or resource-limited locations.

Applications of the Brucella Antibody Rapid Test

The Brucella Antibody Rapid Test is highly versatile and has widespread applications in both veterinary and human healthcare.


  • Veterinary Use : Screening for Brucellosis in Livestock

Brucellosis is a major concern for livestock producers, as it can lead to infertility, reduced milk production, and economic losses. The Brucella Antibody Rapid Test enables veterinarians to perform quick screening in animals, such as cattle, goats, and sheep. Early detection is essential for controlling outbreaks, preventing the spread of the disease, and implementing quarantine measures.


  • Human Brucellosis Diagnosis

In areas where brucellosis is endemic, the Brucella Antibody Rapid Test can also be used to diagnose human infections. Humans can contract brucellosis from direct contact with infected animals or consumption of contaminated animal products. The rapid test offers a fast and easy way for healthcare providers to diagnose brucellosis in humans, particularly in regions with limited access to laboratory-based testing.
