VeriGoldTM AFP
The VeriGoldTM Alpha-Fetoprotein (AFP) Rapid Test is a chromatographic immunoassay developed for the quantitative detection of alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) in human serum or plasma. AFP is a tumor-associated biomarker commonly linked to hepatocellular carcinoma and certain germ cell tumors. The assay provides rapid and convenient measurement of AFP levels, supporting timely evaluation in point-of-care and clinical laboratory settings.
This test is primarily used as an aid in monitoring disease status, evaluating treatment response, and supporting the clinical management of patients with AFP-associated malignancies. Elevated AFP levels may also occur in some non-malignant conditions; therefore, results should always be interpreted together with clinical findings and other laboratory or imaging data.

| Certificate | CE |
| Sample Types | Serum or plasma |
| Sample Volume | 100 µL |
| Collection Method | Venous blood |
| Sample Stability | Stable for testing within 1 hour at room temperature (as validated) |
| Acceptable Anticoagulants | EDTA / Heparin / Citrate (as applicable) |
| Notes on Handling | Specimens should be collected and handled using standard laboratory procedures. Use fresh samples when possible and avoid hemolyzed, lipemic, or contaminated specimens. |
| Detection Method | Immunochromatography |
| Antibody Format | Monoclonal / sandwich |
| Signal Generation | Colloidal gold |
| Reading Method | Instrument-based |
| Mechanism | The assay utilizes a sandwich chromatographic immunoassay method, in which AFP present in the specimen binds to labeled anti-AFP antibodies during membrane migration by capillary action. The formed antigen–antibody complexes are captured by immobilized antibodies at the test region, generating a signal proportional to the AFP concentration in the sample. |
