Respiratory Virus Screening and ID Kit

The kit is intended for the qualitative detection and identification of seven major respiratory viruses (influenza A, influenza B, respiratory syncytial virus , adenovirus, parainfluenza 1, parainfluenza 2 and parainfluenza 3 viruses) in respiratory specimens, by either direct detection or cell culture method, by immunofluorescence using fluoresceinated monoclonal antibodies (MAbs). It is recommended that specimens found to be negative after examination of the direct specimen result be confirmed by cell culture. Negative results do not preclude respiratory virus infection and should not be used as the sole basis for diagnosis, treatment or other management decisions.
