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.

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?
