Acceava® Mono Cassette
Infectious mononucleosis (IM) can resemble more serious infections that demand urgent treatment.
Rapidly identifying or eliminating IM is vital to shorten the course of the illness, reduce severity of symptoms, reduce likelihood of complications, and reduce spread to others. The Acceava® Mono Cassette test is a one-step antibody test for IM that uses direct solid-phase immunoassay technology to detect IM heterophile antibodies in human serum, plasma, or whole blood.
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is one of the most common lung diseases and primarily caused by smoking. Alere’s COPD Program enables participants to identify and control the symptoms of lung infections that could lead to hospitalization, use inhaled medications properly, understand the harmful effects of smoking, and eradicate their dependency on nicotine. Our COPD program has reduced hospitalizations by 8% and healthcare costs related to the disease by 6%.
