Download Rapid Test for Influenza A and B

Rapid Test for Influenza A and B
Unique Technology Advantage
•The ZstatFlu test is not based on an antigen antibody
detection technology platform. Rather, ZstatFlu utilizes
the Neuraminidase (NA) Enzyme Activity Detection
Method.
•It recognizes the viral enzyme active site inside the
neuraminidase enzyme that cannot be reached by
antibodies.
•Because this neuraminidase activity is essential for
influenza to infect, it has preserved the critical parts
of this active site. The ZstatFlu test uses a small
molecule that fits into this preserved active site
and the virus exposes itself by reacting to this
molecule.
Avian Strains of Influenza
Antigenetic shift occurs when Influenza
Type A viruses from two different animals
combine genetically. For example, a pig could
become infected with two different Influenza
Type A viruses – one transmitted to the pig by
a human and one transmitted by a bird. As
the two viruses reproduce within the pig, their
genes could combine to form a unique virus
capable of creating a global pandemic.
Scientists refer to this type of gene mixing as
genetic reassortment.
ZstatFlu can accurately and rapidly detect Avian strains of
influenza, including the (H5N1) Hong Kong strain.
