Are you experiencing itching, vaginal discharge, sensitive irritation, rash on the labia, and/or a burning sensation while urinating? These symptoms may be caused by the Candida fungus. The Candida self-test from The Tester is a high-quality test for detecting Candida antigens. This fungus is found in vaginal discharge and is collected using a cotton swab. This Candida test is a self-test and has the following features:

• Reliable (CE-certified)
• Easy to perform
• Instant results

The test is based on immunochromatographic technology. The collected (swab) sample is added to the sample field using the cap filled with dilution buffer. From there, the sample migrates to the conjugate field, releasing anti-Candida antibodies conjugated with blue-colored latex beads. The newly formed antigen-antibody-conjugate complex then migrates further over the nitrocellulose membrane. The formed complex immobilizes Candida antibodies on the supporting membrane.

If Candida is present in the cotton swab sample, a biological reaction will occur and the result will be positive. A blue line will then appear in the test line field (T) on the membrane. The test includes a built-in control system through a control line (C). The control line confirms the proper performance of the test.
