- 97% sensitivity compared to culture
- QuStick™ Strep A’s ultra-sensitivity means requiring fewer colonies to yield a positive result. This means that even patients presenting less obvious symptoms can be detected
QuStick™ Strep A is highly sensitive and has been proven to detect difficult cases that other rapid streptococcal tests may miss. Its enhanced sensitivity is due to the requirement that fewer bacterial colonies be present to provide a positive result.
This means that Strep A can be diagnosed earlier, allowing patients to be treated quicker and more cost-effectively.
Strep A kits use a simple dipstick format. Each kit includes pouched test strips, reagents A and B, positive and negative external controls, polyester throat swabs, extraction tubes, and a pictorial user’s guide.
QuStick™ Strep A kits from Stanbio Chemistry are CLIA-waived and have a shelf life of 20 months.
