Resp IDx
The COV-19 IDx® + Flu A/B Assay involves extraction of SARS-CoV-2, influenza A (Flu A), and influenza B (Flu B) nucleic acid from a single respiratory specimen, followed by reverse transcription (RT) of viral RNA to cDNA and amplification using a multiplex, real-time RT PCR method. The RNase P gene, which is readily available in all human samples, is monitored during PCR amplification to ensure proper specimen collection, and optimal extraction and assay performance.
There are many types of viruses and bacteria that can infect the respiratory tract. Symptoms are often similar, but treatment can be very different. Therefore, it is important to make the right diagnosis. Our RESP IDx needs a single swab to run COV-19 IDx® + FLU A/B tests with results within 24 hours or less upon receipt of samples in our lab. Our combined diagnostic tests give rapid results for more timely accurate treatment and improved patient outcomes.
