RETROQUIC HIV is a rapid, qualitative flow-through immunoassay designed for the detection of antibodies to HIV-1 and HIV-2 in human serum or plasma samples. The test is ideal for screening, clinics, hospitals, and diagnostic laboratories, offering fast and highly reliable results.
Principle:
The test is based on a membrane-based flow-through immunoconcentration technique:
Sample antibodies specific to HIV-1 or HIV-2 bind to purified synthetic peptides immobilized on the test strip at regions ‘1’ (HIV-1) and ‘2’ (HIV-2).
A blue dyed protein A control band (C) ensures the test validity.
The concentrated flow method allows detection in just 5 minutes.
