PictArray™ ToRCH ELISA kit
ToRCH describes a group of infections which can be passed on to your baby during pregnancy, at delivery or after birth, and cause congenital defects.
The acronym ‘ToRCH’ represents:
• Toxoplasmosis
• Rubella
• Cytomegalovirus (CMV)
• Herpes Simplex Virus (Types 1 and 2).
The PictArray™ ToRCH ELISA kit tests for antibodies against a group of pathogens. Infections with one or more of these pathogens during pregnancy can have devastating consequences, including maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality.
The multiplexed technology allows testing for all the infections simultaneously from a small sample of serum.
Pregnant women are commonly tested during their first two trimesters.
It is vital to detect ToRCH pathogens in the pregnancy so that prompt medical treatment can be received to reduce the risk of complications to both the fetus and the mother.
The PictHealth™ ToRCH ELISA Kit is available now.
