Rotavirus Antigen Test

This rapid diagnostic test, based on the principle of immunoassay (usually lateral flow immunoassay), detects rotavirus protein antigens in a stool sample. Rotavirus is a double-stranded RNA virus (dsRNA) and the most common cause of severe acute diarrhea and dehydration in infants and young children worldwide. The test provides a specific result (positive/negative) within 10-15 minutes.
