Express test makes it possible to quickly and accurately detect rotavirus infection, which is necessary for controlling the spread of the virus and helps to apply the appropriate treatment and prevent the spread of the virus among people, especially children.
Express test for rotavirus infection diagnosis is an express visual immunoassay for detecting rotavirus in human stool samples.
Rotavirus is the most widespread cause of acute gastroenteritis, especially in young children. Rotavirus may be detected when diarrhoea is in progress.
The test contains antibodies to rotavirus, which are applied to the membrane. During the test, the sample reacts with conjugates of coloured particles of rotavirus antibodies, applied on the site where the sample was added to the test strip. A sample of biological material migrates through the capillaries of the membrane and interacts with reagents on the membrane.
The maximum detection of rotavirus in the faeces of patients with gastroenteritis appears 3-5 days after the onset of symptoms.
The test has a sensitivity of 99.1%, which makes it possible to detect the presence of the virus when the first symptoms of illness appear.
