Testsealabs FLUA/B+COVID-19 Antigen Combo Test Cassette

Short Description:

The symptoms of Influenza A/B and COVID-19 often overlap, making it challenging to differentiate between the two, especially during flu season and COVID-19 pandemic periods. The Influenza A/B and COVID-19 combo test cassette enables simultaneous screening of both pathogens in a single test, significantly saving time and resources, enhancing diagnostic efficiency, and reducing the risk of misdiagnosis or missed infections. This combo test supports healthcare facilities in early identification and differentiation of infection sources, enabling timely isolation and treatment measures, reducing disease transmission, and improving the efficiency and effectiveness of public health responses.

Product Detail:

The Influenza A/B and COVID-19 Combo Test Cassette is designed for rapid and simultaneous detection of Influenza A, Influenza B, and SARS-CoV-2 antigens from a single sample. Both influenza and COVID-19 share symptoms like fever, cough, sore throat, and fatigue, making it difficult to clinically differentiate between them, especially in flu season or during COVID-19 outbreaks. This combo test leverages immunochromatographic technology to identify these pathogens with high specificity and sensitivity, providing results within minutes.

Principle:

The principle of the Influenza A/B and COVID-19 Combo Test Cassette is based on immunochromatography. This lateral flow assay contains specific antibodies on the test strip that react with Influenza A, Influenza B, and SARS-CoV-2 antigens if present in the sample. When a sample is applied, the target antigens bind to corresponding labeled antibodies and migrate along the strip. As they move, they encounter specific test lines for each pathogen; if the antigen is present, it binds to the line, producing a visible colored band, indicating a positive result. This mechanism allows for rapid and simultaneous detection of multiple respiratory pathogens with high specificity and sensitivity.

5.Carefully remove the swab without touching the tip.Insert the entire tip of the swab 2 to 3 cm into the right nostril.Note the breaking point of the nasal swab.You can feel this with your fingers when inserting the nasal swab or check it in the mimnor. Rub the inside of the nostril in circular movements 5 times for at least 15 seconds,Now take the same nasal swab and insert it into the other nostril.Swab the inside of the nostril in a circular motion 5 times for at least 15 seconds. Please perform the test directly with the sample and do not
leave it standing.

6.Place the swab in the extraction tube.Rotate the swab for about 10 seconds,Rotate the swab against the extraction tube,pressing the head of the swab against the inside of the tube while squeezing the sides of the tube to release as much liquid as possible from the swab.


7. Take out the swab from the package without touching the padding.	8.Mix thoroughly by flicking the bottom of the tube.Place 3 drops of the sample vertically into the sample well of the test cassette.Read the result after 15 minutes. Note:Read the result within 20 minutes.Otherwise,are petition of the test is recommended.
