Abstract: Provided are: a coloring cellulose microparticle enabling false positive to be significantly reduced while maintaining a high detection sensitivity; and an immunochromatographic diagnostic kit using the same.

Abstract: Provided is an absorbent pad for an immunochromatographic diagnosis kit to be used for an immunochromatographic diagnosis kit which has reduced variation in color intensity and excellent reproducibility. The present invention relates to the absorbent pad for an immunochromatographic diagnosis kit, the absorbent pad comprising nonwoven fabric that is composed of thermoplastic resin fiber and being characterized in that the nonwoven fabric has a weight of 20 to 200 g/m2; a thickness of 0.06 to 1.20 mm, an average fiber diameter of 0.7 to 5.0 ?m, an average pore diameter of 2.0 to 15.0 ?m, and a degree of hydrophilization of 50 to 180 mm. The present invention also relates to an immunochromatographic diagnosis kit using the same.

Abstract: Provided are: a coloring cellulose microparticle enabling false positive to be significantly reduced while maintaining a high detection sensitivity; and an immunochromatographic diagnostic kit using the same. The present invention provides: a coloring cellulose microparticle characterized in that an average particle diameter is 60-900 nm, a coloring intensity is 1.0-10.0, and a hydrophilic layer is provided on the surface of microparticle, and a carboxyl group is introduced onto the surface of the microparticle with a spacer therebetween; a structure in which a ligand is covalently bonded to the carboxyl group of said coloring cellulose microparticle; and an immunochromatographic diagnostic kit including said structure.

Abstract: Provided is an immunochromatographic diagnostic kit which renders prompt diagnosis possible, has high analysis sensitivity, and gives test results with excellent reproducibility. The immunochromatographic diagnostic kit includes: a conjugate pad that contains a conjugate containing chromogenic particles which have an average particle diameter of 100-1,000 nm and attain a color intensity of 1.0-10.0, 10-90 wt % of the particles being derived from cellulose and 90-10 wt % of the particles being derived from a colorant; and a sample pad for an in vitro diagnostic reagent, the sample pad being constituted of nonwoven fabric that has a basis weight of 10-150 g/m2 and a thickness of 0.07-1.00 mm and comprises regenerated cellulosic fibers.

Abstract: Provided are an immunochromatography kit that is highly sensitive and capable of multicoloration, and organic colored microparticles that are ideal as an element of the immunochromatography kit. Organic colored microparticles having an average grain size between 10 and 1,000 nm and a color intensity between 1.0 and 5.0 are prepared using cellulose as the starting material. When the organic colored microparticles are used as a label in an immunochromatography kit, the immunochromatography kit is of a high sensitivity than conventional technology. The immunochromatography kit is also capable of multicoloration and is useful for rapid diagnosis.
