The performance characteristics of two commercially available rapid tests for influenza, the
BD Veritor System for Flu A+ B (BD) and the Alere BinaxNOW influenza A&B card (BN), were …

Identification of the 2009 H1N1 influenza A virus requires emergency use authorized (EUA)
molecular reverse transcriptase–polymerase chain reaction. Laboratories lacking molecular …

It is clinically important to be able to detect influenza A/H1N1 virus using a fast, portable, and
accurate system that has high specificity and sensitivity. To achieve this goal, it is necessary …

ABSTRACT A novel eSensor respiratory viral panel (eSensor RVP) multiplexed nucleic acid
amplification test (GenMark Diagnostics, Inc., Carlsbad, CA) was compared to laboratory …

The performance of SD Bioline rapid antigen test (RAT) was evaluated using real‐time
reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (rRT‐PCR) as gold standard. A total of 718 …

The performancs of a membrane-based EIA, the Quick Vue Influenza test,(Quidel, USA)
were compared to those of an immunofluorescence assay (IFA) for the detection of influenza …

BACKGROUND: The influenza virus causes seasonal epidemics which are associated with
high morbidity and mortality. Rapid diagnostics tests (RDT) are frequently used to make a …

OBJECTIVE: To establish multiplex PCR-based assays for detecting H. influenzae and H.
parainfluenzae. And the PCR-based assays were applied to detect the carriage rates of H …

We introduced a novel micro/nanofluidic chip platform (MNCP), which is based on an
isothermal nucleic acid amplification method. This study aimed to evaluate the MNCP …

BACKGROUND/PURPOSE: Rapid diagnosis of influenza was important in the global
pandemic influenza A/H1N1 outbreak. The QuickVue Influenza A+ B test is one of the most …
