The Access Toxo IgG QC is intended for monitoring system performance of the Access-Toxo-IgG assay.

SUMMARY AND EXPLANATION: Beckman Coulter A31590 Access Toxo IgG QC for toxoplasmosis test

Quality control materials simulate the characteristics of patient samples and are essential for monitoring the system performance of the Access-Toxo-IgG immunoassay. In addition, they are an integral part of good laboratory practices. When performing assays with Access reagents for IgG antibodies to Toxoplasma gondii, include quality control materials to validate the integrity of the assays. The assayed values should fall within the acceptable range if the test system is working properly. One negative and one low level positive control are provided to allow performance monitoring in the most relevant areas of the assay range.

A toxoplasmosis test is a blood test that determines if you have serum antibodies to the Toxoplasma gondii parasite. It’s also called a toxoplasma test.

Your body only makes the antibodies after the T. gondii parasite infects you. The number and type of antibodies you have indicates whether your infection was recent or it occurred some time ago. Your doctor may conduct more than one blood test over a period of several weeks.

For most adults, toxoplasmosis is harmless and goes away without the need for treatment. The condition is often asymptomatic. However, if a pregnant person contracts the infection, it may pass to their fetus.

Eating raw or undercooked meat from an infected animal puts you at risk of a T. gondii infection. You may also contract the infection after handling an infected cat or its feces, which can happen when cleaning a litter box.

After you contract the infection, you’ll have the T. gondii antibodies as long as you live. This generally means that you can’t have the infection again.
