- Immediate administration of appropriate therapy
(most often rehydration without antibiotics);
- Rapid isolation of infected patients or carriers
in order to limit outbreaks;
- Significant decrease of cases of diarrhea of
unknown origin.
High performance
- Very low viral detection limit (lower than
ELISA or latex tests) enabling:
- Diagnosis of diarrhea with low viral loads;
- Use of a minute stool sample : no need for
stool suspension sedimentation >> earlier result.
- High Sensitivity:
Rotavirus : 100 % [96.3 - 100]
(103 positive stool specimens)
Adenovirus : 97.6 % [87.4 - 99.6]
(42 positive stool specimens)
- High Specificity: 100 % [98.6 - 100]
(290 negative stool specimens)
For performance details, please refer to the VIKIA Rota-Adeno package insert.
Extreme ease-of-use
- A single stool extract for the simultaneous detection of rotaviruses and adenoviruses
>> target rotavirus, get adenovirus as a bonus.
- Just 3 steps to perform directly on stool specimens for faster results (12 minutes)
Dilution:
50 mg (size equivalent to 1/4 of a pea) or 50 µl of stood diluted in the vial and homogenized.
Inoculation:
2 drops dispensed into the cassette sample well.
Reading: after 10 minutes.
Blue line = rotavirus
Red line = adenovirus
Blue and red lines = rotavirus and adenovirus
No control line = test invalid.
- Ready-to-use and complete kit including everything required for the procedure (vials with sticks, disposable specimen droppers)
>> more economical test.
Safe procedure
Compared to some other methods, very limited contact with stool specimen.
