Laboratory diagnostics of human bocavirus 1 (HBoV1) infections is usually based on highly sensitive PCR methods. HBoV1 however is often found in clinically healthy subjects and its presence does not necessarily make it the cause of respiratory infection. This poster demonstrates the evaluation of the newly developed HBoV1 antigen test applying the two-photon excitation assay technique (mariPOC platform).

mariPOC® Point-of-Care Diagnostics System

ArcDia International Oy Ltd

What is the mariPOC® point-of-care diagnostics system? A new point-of-care test system for respiratory tract infections First test system in the market for multianalyte POC testing Automated random-access antigen detection test For nasopharyngeal swab samples and aspirates, and for throat swabs IVD-CE marked Why to choose mariPOC® for respiratory tract infection diagnostics?
