Areta CLIA Waived Strep A Swab Test Kit, 25 Tests in Bottle, ARST-100

Overview: The CLIA Waived Areta Strep A Kit offers 25 Tests that are a quick and accurate approach to screen for strep throat or pharyngitis.

The Areta Strep A Rapid Test Strip is a qualitative, lateral flow immunoassay for the detection of Strep A ohydrate antigen in a throat swab.

How it works:  Collect the throat swab. Immediately after, perform the test in a few simple steps: 1) Mix 4 drops of reagent A and B in the tube provided. 2) Swirl the throat swab that was collected ten times and let sit for 1 minute. 3) Remove the swab, cap the tube, and gently mix. 4) Remove the test strip from the pouch and immerse in tube for 5 seconds. Read results at 10 minutes (do not read after 20 minutes).

The reagents and the collection sample react with the antibody to strep A found on the test line region of the test strip. 

Reading the Results: A red line in the test region indicates a positive result, while no test line indicates a negative result. 

*Serving as a control, a red line will always appear in the control region if the test has been performed properly. If a red control line does not appear, the test result is not valid.

Preform Optional Control Test: A control test can show what an ideal test would look like as a positive or a negative result. Tip: Use control + or control - to mix with reagent A & B drops to avoid improper testing. No throat culture is needed.
