*aQcare Chlamydia TRF test is a quantitative assay which uses europium-chelated nanoparticles in a lateral flow format. The signal is measured using a portable, small fluorescence reader (dimensions 348×240×221 mm).
†The BioStar assay is an optical immunoassay which is a proprietary technology that allows direct visual detection of the binding reactions between antigens and antibodies on a thin film.
DRW, Diagnostics for the Real World; ICT, immunochromatographic test; NAAT, nucleic acid amplification test; POCT, point-of-care test.
