ICED
(SARS-CoV-2 + INFLUENZA A/B)
qPCR Detection Kit
Description
Influenza is an acute infectious disease of the respiratory system caused by the influenza virus, occurring annually and taking the form of an acute respiratory infection. The reason for the annual, seasonal increases in the incidence of influenza in the autumn and winter are influenza viruses type A and B. Very similar symptoms are caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus that causes a disease called COVID-19. Both viruses are transmitted by droplet transmission.

More Information
Did you know...?
SARS-COV-2 and INFLUENZA will likely remain for foreseeable future. Illnesses will be seasonal. The viruses will probably mutate. According to the latest WHO data, the number of SARS-COV-2 cases has exceeded 662,445,150 cases, and the number of deaths has exceeded 6,704,827. The WHO estimates that 1 billion influenza cases, 3 to 5 million severe cases, and 290,000 to 650,000 influenza-related respiratory deaths occur each year worldwide.
How the disease spreads?
The viruses can be spread in tiny droplets through the mouth or nose of an infected person when that person coughs, sneezes, talks, sings or breathes. These particles range in size from larger respiratory droplets to smaller aerosols. Infection by inhaling the virus can occur when you come into contact with a person suffering from COVID-19 or INFLUENZA or by touching a contaminated surface and then your eyes, nose or mouth. The viruses spread more easily indoors and in crowded places.
How the test is performed?
Virtually 100% certainty is provided by the PCR genetic test. The use of the RT-qPCR technique based on the detection of virus genetic material enables sensitive and specific identification of the pathogen. Genetic material analysis using our reagents is fast and accurate. The reaction is fast. Ready-to-use reagents are included in the kit. It is enough for the lab technician to add each of them in the right proportion and the reaction is ready. Quickly, easily and professionally.
Why is it worth doing a genetic test?
Quick diagnosis will enable the implementation of treatment. Only by means of a genetic test are we able to detect the presence of the pathogen with certainty 100%. In one quick test you will check whether the patient is infected with the flu or covid virus.
What can be done after the test result?
If the test is negative and the patient is still looking for what makes him feel sick, it is worth offering him tests for other pathogens. Knowing the source of the disease will facilitate treatment.
