This easy-to-use test provides accurate results in just 15 minutes, offering excellent clinical performance with 100% sensitivity and specificity. The simple two-step procedure allows for rapid testing, helping to optimize laboratory workflows by reducing hands-on time to less than one minute.

This test is ideal for quick detection of Rotavirus, making it an excellent tool for diagnosing gastrointestinal infections and ensuring fast patient care.

Key Features & Benefits:

1. Rapid Results:
   • Provides results in just 15 minutes, offering quick diagnosis and efficient clinical decision-making.
2. High Sensitivity and Specificity:
   • Offers 100% sensitivity and specificity, ensuring reliable detection of Rotavirus antigen with no false positives or negatives.
3. Minimal Hands-On Time:
   • The test requires less than one minute of hands-on time, allowing for efficient throughput and reducing technician workload.
4. Easy-to-Read Results:
   • The test produces clearly visible lines on the membrane, making results easy to interpret even for non-expert users. The control line indicates the validity of the test, while the test line appears only in the presence of Rotavirus antigen.
5. Simple Walk-Away Procedure:
   • The immunochromatographic assay involves a simple procedure that does not require complex steps, making it suitable for routine diagnostics in clinical settings.
6. Stable Storage:
   • The test has a shelf life of 18 months and can be stored at room temperature, making it convenient and cost-effective for long-term use in laboratories.
7. Antibody-Coated Color Particles:
   • The test uses antibody-coated color particles to bind to the target antigen, creating a visible color change at the test region, which indicates the presence of Rotavirus.
8. Part of the Xpect Family:
   • As part of the Xpect family of rapid tests, it provides a comprehensive diagnostic solution for infectious diseases, including tests for Flu A&B, RSV, C. difficile Toxin A/B, Giardia, Cryptosporidium, and Legionella.

Applications:

• Rotavirus Diagnosis: Ideal for diagnosing Rotavirus infections in gastrointestinal samples.
• Clinical Laboratories: Used in clinical settings for rapid testing of Rotavirus to ensure timely patient treatment.
• Gastrointestinal Infection Screening: Helps in the detection of Rotavirus as a common cause of diarrhea, especially in children and immunocompromised individuals.
