Description
Sofia® Influenza A+B FIA
For use with Sofia®2 and Sofia® Analyzers
The Sofia Influenza A+B Fluorescent Immunoassay (FIA) uses advanced immunofluorescence–based lateral–flow technology to detect influenza A and influenza B viral nucleoprotein antigens
Features & Benefits
- CLIA waived for nasal and nasopharyngeal swabs, nasal aspirate and wash means easy-to-perform testing
- Compatible with RSV extraction reagent so a single sample can be used to run both Sofia Influenza A+B and Sofia RSV tests
- Fixed–volume pipette collects and dispenses correct amount of sample needed for testing
- Results in 5 minutes for truly rapid testing
- The self–contained test cassette is easy to use and dispose of
- With a fixed–volume pipette, collecting and dispensing the correct amount of sample is simple
- *Note: Order eligibility is based upon executed contractual agreement with manufacturer. Please contact us by phone or email to help you save on your reagent and service contract
- Sofia, the next generation in diagnostic testing takes rapid testing to a whole new level by integrating proven lateral-flow technology, proprietary advanced fluorescence chemistry and assay development techniques
- Sofia is a small benchtop analyzer that can be used both near patient and in laboratory settings
- Sofia is a small bench top analyzer that uses advanced fluorescence detection with an ultraviolet LED energy source
- Results are reported automatically on the screen and can be stored in Sofia, on the SD Card provided in the install pack, printed using the integrated printer, or sent to the LIS
- Sofia has two modes that can be used depending on your workflow requirements
- Sofia WALK AWAY mode may be most convenient for reading a single patient sample
- Sofia READ NOW mode may be most convenient for reading several patient samples
- The Sofia Influenza A+B Fluorescent Immunoassay (FIA) uses advanced immunofluorescence-based lateral-flow technology to detect influenza A and influenza B viral nucleoprotein antigens in nasal and nasopharyngeal swab and nasopharygeal aspirate/wash specimens
- All components included in the kit
- Fixed volume pipette collects and dispenses correct amount of sample needed for testing
- Room temperature storage
- Compatible with RSV Extraction Reagent means when testing with Sofia Influenza A+B FIA, a single patient sample may also be used to test with Sofia RSV FIA
- CLIA Waived for nasal and nasopharyngeal swabs
- CLIA Moderate Complexity for nasopharyngeal aspirate / wash
- 500 patient test result storage maximum
- 200 QC results storage
