ID Screen® Influenza subtype-specific kits

Range of competitive ELISA kits for the detection of subtype-specific antibodies in avian serum or plasma.

  • May be used for DIVA diagnostics (Differentiation of Infected and Vaccinated Animals)*
  • Applicable to both domestic & wild avian species
  • High sensitivity and specificity: validated by OIE labs, with excellent results (1)
  • Easy-to-use, with results in under 2.5 hours
  • Comprehensive data analysis with the IDSoft™program
  • Positive and negative reference sera available as internal controls

* For example, if vaccination is performed using a homologous hemagglutinin to the highly pathogenic field strain, but a heterologous neuraminidase subtype, serologic surveillance can be performed by testing for antibodies against the homologous N subtype as evidence of natural infection.
