Influenza A+B Virus Antigen Rapid Test Kit

Rapid Test: 15min
Easy Storage: 4-30℃
Easy to Use

INTENDED USE

This product is used for in vitro qualitative detection of influenza A+B virus antigens in human nasal and throat swab samples. Only suitable for professional in vitro diagnosis, not for personal use. Positive test results require further confirmation, and a negative test does not rule out the possibility of infection. The kit and test results are for clinical reference only. It is recommended that a comprehensive analysis be performed in conjunction with the patient's clinical findings and other laboratory tests.

CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE

Influenza, often referred to as "flu", is caused by the influenza virus, a highly contagious viral infection of the respiratory tract that can be spread by coughing or sneezing. Influenza outbreaks occur every fall and winter. Influenza is divided into influenza A virus, influenza B virus and influenza C virus. Influenza A virus has strong variability, followed by influenza B virus, and influenza C virus is relatively stable. Therefore, influenza A virus is more prevalent than influenza B and C, and the disease caused by it is also more serious.

The rapid identification and diagnosis of influenza A and B is of great significance for obtaining effective antiviral therapy. The gold standard for laboratory diagnosis is the virus isolation and culture method, but this method has a long time period, which seriously affects the timely medication and treatment of patients. Compared with the cell culture method, reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) has higher sensitivity, but the RT-PCR method has higher cost, requires 4-6 hours of experimental time, and is more professional in experimental operation. Therefore, the field application is limited. The Influenza A+B Virus Antigen Detection Kit (Colloidal Gold) provides a simple and quick auxiliary differential diagnosis method for influenza A and B using nasopharyngeal or oropharyngeal swab specimens.
