Improved Rapid Tests for Rotavirus and Adenovirus

Microgen Bioproducts have made significant improvements to their the Rota Dipstick and Rota/Adeno Combi Dipstick immunochromatographic tests. Both test strips have been improved upon to provide superior sensitivity (sensitivity 100%), a longer shelf-life of 18 months and increased readability. The improvements to the performance of the tests and the ease-of-use have been made possible due to the use of superior and differing antibodies. The dipsticks provide an even more rapid (results in 10 minutes rather than 15 minutes) and simple test which requires no centrifugation or filtration of the sample but with superior sensitivity and ease-of-use.

The Rota Dipstick and Rota/Adeno Combi Dipstick are part of the range of tests available for the detection of Rotavirus and Adenovirus from Microgen Bioproducts. The range includes an enzyme immuno-assay and a rapid latex agglutination test for the detection of Rotavirus as well as an enzyme-immuno assay and a rapid latex agglutination test for the detection of Adenovirus.
