Description

The EASENDER Flu A & B Antigen Rapid Test Kit is a rapid, qualitative in vitro diagnostic tool designed for the detection of influenza A (including the H1N1 subtype) and B viral proteins in specimens obtained from nasopharyngeal (NP) swabs, throat swabs, or nasal swabs. 

This kit is intended to facilitate the prompt diagnosis of influenza A and/or B infections. It is important to note that the results obtained from this test are preliminary in nature. Consequently, any positive findings should be corroborated through further confirmatory testing methodologies and comprehensive clinical assessment to ensure accurate diagnosis and appropriate clinical management.

Feature

Easy to use: Simple operation without cumbersome steps.

Fast: Results in just 15 minutes

Accurate: High sensitivity, dual-item detection

Specimen collection 

Throat Swabbing

Insert a sterilized swab into the throat and gently rotate it several times to gather epidermal cells from the mucus, being careful not to contaminate the swab with saliva.

Nasopharyngeal (NP) Swabbing

Insert a sterilized swab into the nostril parallel to the palate. Let it stay for a few seconds to absorb secretions. Using NP swabs for sample collection is recommended for the best results.

Storage if Immediate Testing is Not Possible

Patient samples are best tested right after collection. If that's not feasible, put the swab in a dry, sterile plastic tube (not included in the kit) and store it at 2ºC - 4ºC for a maximum of 8 hours.

SPECIMEN PREPARATION

1.Insert the test tube into the paper stand in this product. Make sure that the tube is standing firm and reaches the bottom of the stand.

2.Add the sample extraction bugger to the extraction tube until it reaches the lower mark(about 8-11 drops, 0.3ml).

3.Insert the swab into the extraction tube which contains 0.3ml of the extraction buffer. After mixing, squeeze the tube several times with fingers from outside of the tube to immerse the swab. Remove the swab. The extracted solution will be used as test sample.
