The INSTI HIV-1/HIV-2 Antibody Test is a one-time use, rapid, visually read, flow-through immunoassay which detects antibodies to Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) Type 1 and Type 2 using a drop of human fingerstick blood. Other sample types which can be tested are venous whole blood, plasma and serum.
The Rapid HIV Test is intended for use by trained personnel in medical facilities, clinical laboratories, emergency care situations, and physicians’ offices as a screening assay capable of providing test results in as little as 60 seconds. The assay is packaged as a kit containing INSTI® Membrane Units, Sample Diluent, Color Developer and Clarifying Solution, and is available in point-of-care use packaging.
