These tests are based on the immunochromatography technology with colloidal gold particles or latex microspheres.

Rotavirus, Adenovirus group and Adenovirus 40/41 tests are available in strip and cassette formats. Controls are also available.
The introduction of rapid antigen detection tests for H. pylori provided an alternative to E.I.A. tests. Our U.K. users reoprt that, as single and simple tests, samples can be processed immediately with benefits to laboratory workflow and removal of the delay in reporting often seen where laboratories batch by E.I.A.
Both strip and cassette formats are available. A control is also available.
The use of immunochromatographic tests for the detection of cryptosporidia and giardia provides a rapid and low-skill alternative to microscopy.
