WiduMed streptococcus group B test

The WiduMed Streptococcus B test is suitable for the rapid and reliable detection of GBS antigens (group B streptococci) in pregnant women or newborns. These bacteria can be transmitted from mother to child during pregnancy and can lead to serious infections such as sepsis, meningitis or pneumonia. The test is particularly important as early diagnosis and treatment can significantly reduce the risk of these complications. The Strep B cassette test uses a simple immunoassay procedure to identify the presence of GBS antigens in the swab material. This can be obtained from vaginal or rectal swabs in pregnant women and from ear or throat swabs in newborns. The test provides results in just 5 minutes and is therefore ideal for use in clinical settings. The test is intended for professional use by healthcare professionals only and should only be performed and interpreted by physicians or authorized professionals. Incorrect use by non-professionals may lead to erroneous results. The Streptococcus B test is supplied with 20 test cassettes, sterile swabs, extraction tubes, reagents and a positive control.
