Intended Use:

Test for detection of various Flu A+B serotypes in human nasopharyngeal secretions.

Introduction:

Influenza A/B Antigen is a chromatographic immunoassay kit for rapid, qualitative, and differential determination of influenza virus type A and type B (not type C) infection from nasal or throat swab specimens. Antigens of influenza virus type A and type B in the specimens are allowed to react with the anti-influenza A and anti-influenza B monoclonal antibody-coupled gold conjugate followed by reaction with anti-influenza A or anti-influenza B monoclonal antibodies immobilized in the test lines. When the sample contains influenza virus A&B, a visible line appears in the test region on the membrane. Influenza A/B Antigen is also very useful to directly and differentially detect influenza virus (A/B) from nasal swab with a high accuracy.
