What is a Rotavirus Test Kit?
A Rotavirus Test Kit is a medical diagnostic tool used to detect antigens associated with the rotavirus, which can aid in a quick diagnosis of the infection. Rotavirus is a highly contagious virus primarily affecting infants and young children. It is one of the leading causes of severe diarrhea throughout the world.
Rotavirus rapid testing kits have straightforward procedures of use and can be used operated by individuals with minimal training, which makes them a practical option in resource-constrained environments.
The rotavirus antigen test kit is based on lateral flow immunoassay technology. This style of test can give accurate, reliable test results within 15-20 minutes.
AdvaCare Pharma is the manufacturer of Rotavirus Test Kits. These kits are manufactured in ISO and CE-certified facilities situated in India, China, and the USA. Regular inspections of these facilities are conducted to ensure compliance and quality.

Fecal Swab
Fecal Swab is used to take a sample of cells from the stool sample. The long, thin part of the swab is made of plastic. There is a tip at the end of the swab that is inserted into the stool sample and rotated to ensure that the entire tip area of the swab is in contact with the sample. The swab comes in a sterile blister pack and right after collecting the sample, it is placed in a buffer dilution to proceed with the test.
Cassette
Cassette is a box made of plastic, which houses the test strip within it. It features a designated area where the sample is placed for testing. The sample is applied to this area of the cassette.
The cassette also includes a window where the results of the test are displayed. Depending on the outcome, lines will appear in the window, indicating a positive, negative, or invalid result.
Strip
Strip is a thin plastic component with a reaction pad that exhibits a visible signal indicating a positive, negative, or invalid test result.
The end of the strip comprises reagents tailored for the immunochromatographic assay. To initiate the test, the strip should be placed in the specimen sample at the arrow end.
