Description
The Chembio SURE CHECK HIV 1/2 Assay packs a complete rapid HIV test into a single self-contained barrel device that runs on just 2.5 microliters of sample. It is FDA approved and CLIA waived, with results in 15 minutes and no separate buffer bottles or transfer steps to manage. Each kit of 25 tests even includes the safety lancet and bandage for the fingerstick, so a session needs nothing beyond the box.
- 2.5 microliter sample – The manufacturer describes it as the smallest sample volume of any rapid HIV test
- All-in-one barrel device – Collection and testing happen in one sealed unit, with nothing to assemble at the table
- Lancet and bandage included – Kits carry the fingerstick supplies, so outreach packs stay self-sufficient
- Results in 15 minutes – The full run fits a standard counseling and testing appointment
About This All-in-One HIV Test Device
Chembio Diagnostic Systems catalogues this device as item 60-9507-0 with 25 tests in each kit. The barrel format collects the fingerstick sample directly into the testing device, then the device is pushed through its foil cap to start the run, which removes pipetting from the workflow entirely. The manufacturer publishes sensitivity of 99.7 percent and specificity of 99.9 percent, with detection built on the GP120, GP41 and GP36 markers of HIV 1 and HIV 2. Kits store at 8 to 30 degrees Celsius and carry a 24 month shelf life. A matched control pack, manufacturer item 60-9549-0, is shared with the STAT-PAK line for programs running external controls.

Why Choose This All-in-One HIV Test Device
Field screening fails in small ways: a missing lancet, a buffer bottle left at the office, a pipette step a new volunteer has not practiced. This device removes those failure points by sealing the whole test into one barrel and packing the collection supplies in the same box. Programs choose it when sessions happen far from a stocked supply room.
- Nothing to forget – Device, buffer and fingerstick supplies travel together in every kit
- Gentler collections – A 2.5 microliter sample means a shallower, quicker fingerstick for the client
- Consistent runs – The sealed format runs the same way in every pair of hands, session after session
