What is an immunochromatographic rapid test?
An immunochromatographic rapid test is an analytical method based on lateral flow technology, in which the sample migrates along a membrane with specific reagents, allowing the detection of antigens, antibodies, hormones, drugs and their metabolites. The result appears as visible lines on the device, usually within a few minutes. It is a practical, easy-to-run test that can be performed at the point of care, without the need for complex laboratory equipment.
What formats do the rapid test kits come in?
The Kamers Health catalog offers rapid tests in different formats: cassette, strip, midstream (pen), cup and panel. Depending on the type of test, samples may be whole blood, serum, plasma, urine, stool, saliva, swab, secretions or semen. Each product lists its specifications, including sample type, presentation format, quantity per kit and time required to read the result.
Which rapid tests does Kamers Health offer?
The most requested include rapid tests for HIV 1/2, syphilis, hepatitis B and hepatitis C (HCV), dengue NS1 and dengue IgG/IgM, COVID-19 (antigen), influenza A and B, RSV, the COVID + influenza + RSV viral panel, pregnancy (beta HCG), fecal occult blood, rotavirus, H. pylori and drugs of abuse.
What is the difference between a professional-use rapid test and a self-test?
Professional-use tests are intended to be performed by trained professionals at licensed healthcare facilities, such as laboratories, clinics, hospitals and pharmacies. Self-tests, on the other hand, are designed so that individuals can collect their own sample, run the test and interpret the result by following the manufacturer's instructions. Examples include pregnancy, HIV and COVID-19 self-tests.
