  • Excellent analytical sensitivity, sensitivity and specificity, as proven in recent outbreaks
  • Multi-species test: may be used on ruminants, horses, dogs and other species. For research use only on human samples: contact us.
  • Convenient and rapid format: ready-to-use, coated plates in strips, and all other components in liquid format. Results in less than 2 hours.
  • Practical: easily check that all samples have been correctly deposited because the dilution buffer changes color upon addition of the sera
