How to use the Clearview® Exact Influenza A & B test

How to Use Influenza A & BThe Clearview® Exact Influenza A & B test consists of a dipstick device containing a membrane strip that has separate regions with immobilized influenza A and B specific monoclonal antibodies and a coloured gold conjugate that also consists of specific influenza A and B antibodies. The nasal swab specimens require a sample preparation step, in which the sample is eluted from the swab into an extraction reagent. The device is placed in the extraction solution. Test results are interpreted at 15 minutes based on the presence or absence of red/pink coloured lines in the influenza A and/or B test regions. A red/pink coloured Control line appears in the Control region within 15 minutes for a valid assay.
