NADAL® Strep A plus Test
Test cassette with star mould for the detection of group A streptococci
Beta-haemolytic group A streptococci (bacterial strain) are responsible for a range of different diseases. They are a
major cause of infections of the upper respiratory tract, such as acute pharyngitis (tonsillitis) and scarlet fever. Streptococcal infections with streptococcus pyogenes are especially common amongst children aged 5-15 years. Due to their non-specific clinical symptoms, a distinction must be made between streptococcal and viral infections using appropriate diagnostics. The early detection of streptococcal pharyngitis and the subsequent intervention is particularly important for children, as treatment can
• shorten the course of the disease
• ease the severity of symptoms
• reduce the likelihood of complications
• lower the chance of others being infected
The NADAL® Strep A plus Test is an immunological rapid test for the fast, qualitative detection of group A streptococcus antigens in throat swabs, suitable for general practices, hospitals and laboratories. With a short testing time of just 5 minutes, as well as simple and precise results, the NADAL® Strep A plus Test is an ideal aid in the diagnosis of streptococcal infections.
