| BIONOR™ HIV-1&2 Confirmatory |
 

BIONORTM HIV-1&2 is a rapid magnetic particle based Enzyme Immuno Assay detecting
antibodies against HIV-1, HIV-1 group 0 and HIV-2. The test is ideal for use in small blood
collection centres, and laboratories performing between 5 to 100 tests per day.

The test kit contains 250 tests, and includes all necessary consumables, ready-to-use
reagents in dropper vials and an easy-to-follow protocol. The test can use serum, plasma
and whole blood as sample, and results are read visually.

The test requires a compact test station which includes these functions: tilting, magnetic
rack, pump and lamp, for standardised reading of results. The unit can be used on 220V
and on a 12V car battery.
 

The test is also suitable for use at small and medium-sized laboratories/hospitals.
Since it can be performed at ambient temperature, the test is also ideal for use in
Africa, South East Asia and Latin America.

The BIONOR HIV-1&2 test kit has been evaluated by WHO with excellent results,
100% sensitivity and 98,8% specificity. WHO, Report no. 11 of the Operational
characteristics of commercially available assays to detect antibodies to HIV-1
and/or HIV-2 in human sera.
