The Alere i Influenza A & B 2 test detects and distinguishes influenza A and B viral nucleic acid in nasal or nasopharyngeal swab samples from people with respiratory infection symptoms. Samples may be tested directly or after elution in viral transport medium.
The test uses isothermal nucleic acid amplification in two sealed reaction tubes, with fluorescent molecular beacons identifying the amplified targets. A disposable sample receiver and transfer cartridge move the prepared sample into the test base, while the reusable instrument heats, mixes and reads the reactions.
Listed Item
A rapid, automated, molecular test for the qualitative detection of influenza A and B viral nucleic acid in respiratory specimens.
Result Handling
The instrument reports results automatically and stores them with the entered sample identifier and test date and time. An internal control within the test base supports the amplification process.
