About This Strep A Flip Cassette Test
Some benches read cassettes more reliably than strips, especially with rotating staff during respiratory season. This flip cassette runs the same Group A streptococcus testing job from a throat swab in a format that presents the result window clearly. The manufacturer reports sensitivity of 95 percent and specificity of 98.4 percent for the test, which is CLIA waived.
Each box carries the full component set, including test strips in a vial, extraction tubes, sterile throat swabs, reagents A and B, a workstation and both controls. Room temperature storage and 24 month dating with open vial stability keep the kit ready through the season.
