For use with Sofia 2 and Sofia.
The Sofia RSV fluorescent immunoassay (FIA) uses advanced immunofluorescence-based lateral-flow technology to detect respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) nucleoprotein antigen directly from nasopharyngeal swab and nasopharyngeal aspirate/wash specimens from symptomatic patients. The high sensitivity of the Sofia® RSV FIA offers confidence in rapid RSV testing.
Sofia 2 with advance result technology (ART) delivers accurate, objective and automated results in as few as three minutes.
