Designed for healthcare professionals to perform rapid, qualitative detection and differentiation of:
-
Influenza A virus nucleocapsid protein antigen
-
Influenza B virus nucleocapsid protein antigen
- SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) nucleocapsid protein antigen
- All from a single patient sample, typically collected via nasal or nasopharyngeal swabs
Key Features:
- One Sample, Three Results:
- This is a major advantage, allowing for simultaneous testing for common respiratory viruses with a single patient sample
- Especially useful during co-circulation seasons
- Rapid Results:
- Provides results in as little as 3 to 15 minutes, crucial for timely diagnosis and patient management
CLIA Waived (under EUA):
- Sofia 2 Flu + SARS Antigen FIA test is authorized for use under the FDA's Emergency Use Authorization (EUA)
- CLIA waived for nasal and nasopharyngeal swab specimens
- This means it can be performed in a wide range of point-of-care settings
- Objective and Automated Interpretation:
- The Sofia 2 Analyzer reads and interprets the test results automatically, removing subjective visual interpretation and providing consistent, reliable digital results
-
Dual Workflow Modes:
- Sofia 2 can operate in "Walk Away" mode (where the test processes automatically after insertion) or "Read Now" mode (for immediate result reading after a manual incubation), accommodating different clinic workflows
- Room Temperature Storage:
- Test kits generally do not require refrigeration, simplifying storage
