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

Beckman Coulter 34439 Access Rubella IgG QC (Rubella IgG Test) SUMMARY AND EXPLANATION:

Quality control materials simulate the characteristics of patient samples and are essential for monitoring the system performance of the Access Rubella-IgG immunoassay. In addition, they are an integral part of good laboratory practices. When performing assays with Access reagents for IgG antibodies to the rubella virus, 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.

Rubella IgG Test Overview

A rubella blood test detects antibodies that are made by the immune system to help kill the rubella virus. These antibodies remain in the bloodstream for years. The presence of certain antibodies means a recent infection, a past infection, or that you have been vaccinated against the disease.

Rubella (also called German measles or 3-day measles) usually does not cause long-term problems. But someone infected with the rubella virus during pregnancy can transmit the disease to the baby (fetus). And serious birth defects called congenital rubella syndrome (CRS) could develop, especially during the first trimester. Birth defects of CRS include cataracts and other eye problems, hearing loss, and heart disease. Miscarriage and stillbirth are also possible consequences for those who are pregnant. The vaccination to prevent rubella protects against these complications.

A rubella test is usually done for someone who is or wants to become pregnant to determine whether they are at risk for rubella. Several laboratory methods can be used to detect rubella antibodies in the blood. The most commonly used method is the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA, EIA).
