The rapidSTRIPE H1N1 Detection Assay and the rapidSTRIPE H1N1 Assay - KF are ready-to-use kits for highly sensitive detection of A/H1N1 from throat or nasal swabs. The kits contain all of the solutions and plastic materials required for upstream cDNA synthesis, for a combined amplification and hybridization reaction using a sequence-specific probe and for final detection on a Lateral Flow Strip. Both assays are approved for in-vitro diagnostic applications. Results from visual detection (strip test) were comparable to those from traditional, established TaqMan® real-time PCR for the same gene segment.
