Author(s): Zhang Lei*, Yang Feng and Zhu Junzhe
Influenza, commonly referred to as the flu, is a highly contagious respiratory viral
infection that spreads through aerosolized droplets resulting from coughing and
sneezing. This communicable disease predominantly manifests during the fall and
winter months. Type A influenza viruses exhibit higher prevalence compared to type B
viruses and correlate with more severe epidemics. The rapid and accurate diagnosis of
influenza A and B viral infections is crucial for early treatment and preventing further
spread.
The Influenza A+B Rapid Test Cassette, developed by Hangzhou AllTest Biotech Co.,
Ltd is a lateral flow immunoassay for the detection of influenza A and B antigens in
nasopharyngeal swab, throat swab, or nasal aspirate specimens. Its performance
has been evaluated using patient specimens, with Reverse-transcription polymerase
chain reaction (R.. View More»
