Alere BinaxNOW®
Medical professionals around the world use BinaxNOW® rapid in vitro diagnostic tests to identify a variety of infectious diseases at the point of care. Our technologies detect bacteria and viruses causing upper and lower respiratory tract infections, including Legionnaires' disease, pneumonia, RSV and influenza, as well as pathogens causing filariasis and malaria.
Rapid and accurate test results provide the foundation for pathogen-specific diagnosis, facilitating optimal patient management and infection control practices.

The BinaxNOW® G6PD Test is a visual screening test used for differentiating normal from deficient G6PD activity levels in whole blood and is intended to aid in the identification of people with G6PD deficiency.
Slowing antibiotic resistance through rapid diagnostics
As microbes become more resilient to antibiotics, common diseases and infections are becoming harder to treat. Before long, operations like organ transplants and C-sections could be too risky to perform. What does that mean to the future of medicine?
