The KaiBiLiTM Flu A&B Antigen Rapid Test is an in vitro diagnostic test for the qualitative detection of influenza A and B nucleoprotein antigens in nasopharyngeal (NP) swab and nasal aspirate samples, using the rapid immunochromatographic method.
Introduction
The KaiBiLiTM Flu A&B Antigen Rapid Test is an immune - chromatographic membrane assay that uses highly sensitive monoclonal antibodies to detect influenza A and B nucleoprotein antigens in nasopharyngeal (NP) swab, and nasal aspirate samples.
The detection is based on the monoclonal antibodies specific for the nucleoprotein of either influenza virus A or B. It is intended to aid in the rapid diagnosis of influenza A and B viral infection. Negative results should be confirmed by other methods, such as cell culture.
Influenza viruses are causative agents of highly contagious, acute, viral infections of the respiratory tract. Influenza viruses are immunologically diverse, singlestranded RNA viruses, Influenza illness classically presents with sudden onset of fever, chills, headache, myalgias, and a nonproductive cough.
Detection
Detection of influenza A and B nucleoprotein antigens in nasopharyngeal (NP) swab and nasal aspirate samples
Limit Of Detection (LoD)
The limit of detection (LOD) for the KaiBiLiTM Flu A&B Antigen Rapid Test was established for a total of 10 influenza strains: 8 influenza A and 2 influenza B.
