Sensitivity
The test strip was used to test the positive control serum P1, which
tested positive when diluted to 1:256, indicating that the minimum
detection limit was 1:256 (Figure 9 ). The Svanova and Ingenasa
ELISA kits yielded positive results when P1 was diluted to 1:512 and
1:256, respectively (Table 1 ). Therefore the sensitivity of the
strips prepared in this study was comparable to those of two commercial
ELISA kits.

control serum P1 was diluted from 1:2 to 1:512.
