The Need
- Respiratory viruses, especially influenza, mutate rapidly and novel strains can emerge with little notice.
- Sensitivities of Rapid EIA Flu tests range from 50-70%1
- This genetic evolution can potentially impact the performance of molecular diagnostic tests if mutations occur within the test’s targeted regions.2
