The C. DIFF QUIK CHEK ^® test is a rapid membrane enzyme immunoassay for use as a screening test to detect Clostridium difficile antigen, glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH), in fecal specimens from persons suspected of having C. difficile disease.

The test does not distinguish toxigenic from nontoxigenic strains of C. difficile.

The device contains a Reaction Window with two stripes.
One stripe is a test line specific for GDH, and the other is the control line.

Easy to interpret

Highly sensitive and specific

Results indicators

Proper test performance is indicated by the formation of a blue line at the control side (C) of the Reaction Window.
A positive result is indicated by the formation of a blue line at the test side (T) of the Reaction Window.
If the only visible line is located on the side of the cassette labeled “T,” or no lines are visible in the Reaction Window, then the test did not run properly, the results are invalid and the sample should be tested again using a fresh cassette.
