Influenza A+B Antigen Rapid Test Kit

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Influenza is a contagious respiratory disease caused by influenza viruses. It can cause mild to severe diseases. The severe consequences of influenza infection can lead to hospitalization or death. Some people, such as the elderly, young children, and people with certain health conditions, are prone to severe flu complications. There are two main types of influenza viruses: type A and type B. The influenza A and B (human influenza viruses) that are usually spread among people are the cause of seasonal influenza epidemics every year.

TEST METHOD

The rapid test of influenza A+B is a lateral flow chromatography detection method based on the principle of double antibody sandwich technology. The anti-influenza A and influenza B monoclonal antibodies combined with colloidal gold gold particles are used as the label, and gold is sprayed on the binding pad. During the test, the antigen and labeled antibody complexes are formed and migrated on the membrane by capillary action. If the specimen contains influenza A antigen, the complex will be captured by the pre-coated influenza A monoclonal antibody, forming a visible colored line in area A of the result window. If the specimen contains influenza B antigen, the complex will be captured by the precoated influenza B monoclonal antibody, forming a visible color line in the B area of the result window. The control line (C) is used for process control and should always appear if the test process is performed properly.
 
SAMPLE REQUIREMENT

1. Specimens obtained early in the onset of symptoms will contain the highest virus titer;
2. Specimens obtained 5 days after the onset of symptoms are more likely to produce Positive results;
3. Insufficient specimen collection, improper specimen handling and/or transportation may produce false negative results;
4. Do not return the nasal swab to the original swab packaging;
5. Freshly collected specimens should be processed as soon as possible, but no later than 1 hour after specimen collection;
6. The collected specimens can be stored at 2-8°C for no more than 24 hours;
7. Store at -70℃ for a long time, but avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles; Improper sample handling, storage and transportation methods may produce false negative results
