Aspergillus galactomanna Performance 

An evaluation was carried out using 981 samples (381 positive and 640 negative) at 3 hospitals, the results found were: 
  • The sensitivity and specificity for the FungiXpert LFA is 90.6-96.8% and 95-96.4% respectively
Picture
The cassette format is simple to use! Each product is coded to ensure that the reader applies standard curve for interpretation. 

The Lateral Flow Assay Reader

A pre-programmed instrument for quantitatively reading lateral flow assays for fungal biomarkers. These Quantitative lateral flow assays open the door to the benefits of combination testing in diagnosing fungal infections. 
  • An immunochromatography reader with built-in standard curves, which are recognised by the ID on of the cassette 
  • Scan the strip barcode to match the corresponding standard curve data, then simply read it! 
  • ​The quantitative results will now be displayed as determined by the barcode-detected standard curve.
