Description
The BD Veritor Group A Strep Test Kit is a CLIA-waived rapid test kit for detecting Group A Strep from throat swabs, configured for the BD Veritor Plus Analyzer. It serves clinics and urgent care sites that need a strep answer during the visit instead of after a culture.
- 30 Tests per Kit – each kit carries 30 Strep A devices with reagents and control swabs
- CLIA-Waived Format – the kit is CLIA-waived for use with throat swab specimens
- Analyzer Read – results are read on the Veritor Plus Analyzer, removing by-eye interpretation
A Strep Answer While the Patient Is Still in the Room
Sore throat visits turn on one question, and a rapid antigen answer lets the clinician act on it in the same encounter. This kit supplies 30 test devices with the two GAS reagents, positive and negative control swabs and the throat swabs themselves. The workflow runs on the BD Veritor Plus Analyzer, the white-and-blue instrument photographed with the kit carton. Analyzer reading replaces the by-eye line judgement that makes visual rapid tests vary between staff. The kit is sold as a single kit of 30 tests, sized for clinic and urgent care throughput.

Why Clinics Run Strep on an Analyzer Instead of by Eye
Visual rapid tests ask tired staff to judge faint lines at the busiest hour of the clinic day, and borderline calls go both ways. An analyzer-read kit makes the result a measurement rather than an opinion.
- Objective Results – the Veritor Plus reads the device, standardizing the call across staff and shifts
- Complete Kit Contents – devices, reagents, controls and swabs are all in the carton, ready for the season
- Visit-Time Answers – rapid detection supports treatment decisions in the same encounter
- BD Veritor Platform – the kit belongs to BD's Veritor rapid testing platform used across respiratory testing
