The strep a rapid test offers a reliable, point-of-care solution that delivers visual results in a short time without requiring laboratory equipment.

The test uses lateral flow immunochromatographic technology to detect GAS antigen directly from throat swabs. It is ideal for use in pediatric clinics, family practices, hospitals, and school health programs.

This easy-to-use format enhances workflow efficiency in busy clinical environments and aids in distinguishing bacterial infections from viral causes of sore throat.
