The D3 Duet DFA Influenza A/Respiratory Virus Screening Kit, is intended for the qualitative detection and identification of influenza A, while screening for influenza B virus, respiratory syncytial virus, adenovirus, and parainfluenza virus types 1, 2 and 3 viral antigens, in nasal and nasopharyngeal swabs and aspirates or in cell culture. The assay detects viral antigens by immunofluorescence using monoclonal antibodies (MAbs), from patients with signs and symptoms of respiratory infection.One stain, one filter, two rapid results with two fluorescent tags for optimal laboratory efficiency.
Allows for identification of either Influenza A while screening for 6 other respiratory viruses in cell culture using a multiplex monoclonal antibody format
Results can be read with a single fluorescent filter set for ease of use
