The liquid portion of the blood (serum or plasma) containing antibodies is separated and tested using the Liason Biotrin parvovirus B19 IgG plus test on a Liason XL analyzer. If parvovirus B19 antibodies are present, they bind to the chemicals and particular particles in the test, producing a light signal.

Roche introduces 15-minute nasal COVID test in UK

pharmaphorum

COVID-19 antigen tests diagnose active infection by detecting SARS-CoV-2 viral proteins in samples, as opposed to PCR tests which detect viral RNA and require lab processing, but can miss infections with low virus levels. The test – which can also be self-collected – showed a sensitivity of 93.8%

Roche receives FDA approval for first HIV-1/HIV-2 Qualitative Test on the cobas 6800/8800 Systems in the fight against HIV/AIDS

The Pharma Data

Current serology-based testing methods rely on the ability to detect an antibody or antigen response. As a result, they can fail to identify an infection if the person is tested prior to having a detectable antibody or antigen response, which can take several weeks to generate.

New HCV Test Enables Diagnosis and Treatment in a Single Visit

XTalks

Unlike traditional testing methods that require samples to be sent to central laboratories, this test utilizes a blood sample from the fingertip to detect HCV RNA, delivering results in approximately one hour. The infection, if left untreated, can lead to severe health issues such as liver cancer and liver failure.
