BinaxNOW^® Filariasis

Accurate

Lymphatic filariasis does not always result in clinical symptoms so the most accurate way to diagnosis is using a blood test.

Simple

The BinaxNOW^® Filariasis card test does not require laboratory facilities.

Convenient

The test uses finger-prick blood taken at any time of the day without regard to nocturnicity of parasite. Traditionally testing was restricted to the hours of 10 pm and 2 am when the parasite appeared in the patient's blood.

Flexible

The test detects filarial antigen in whole blood, serum or plasma.

Rapid

The test yields results in 10 minutes.
