OPERON rapid tests allow the simultaneous or individual detection of Influenza A and B, COVID-19, RSV and respiratory adenovirus in a simple, fast and reliable manner, facilitating professional diagnosis.
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is one of the leading causes of hospitalisation for respiratory infections in infants and young children. In addition, its high infectiousness makes it a key factor in nosocomial infections. Influenza (flu) is a serious and highly contagious respiratory infection. Influenza A and B viruses cause seasonal epidemics, with type A being the most frequent and associated with the most severe outbreaks. Respiratory adenovirus, belonging to the Adenoviridae family, causes symptoms similar to a common cold, but unlike the flu or RSV, it is not seasonal and can be detected throughout the year. The SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus, responsible for COVID-19, can cause mild symptoms such as fever, dry cough and fatigue, to serious complications such as pneumonia, severe acute respiratory syndrome or even death.
Since these viruses share symptoms, their rapid and accurate detection is essential to optimize health resources, reduce hospitalizations and avoid unnecessary treatments, such as antibiotics in viral infections. Furthermore, in the case of influenza, identifying whether it is Influenza A or B is key, since not all antivirals are equally effective.

Our RSV, Flu A+B and SARS-CoV-2 detection products use the same dilution buffer. This means that, with a single sample, all three tests could be run and all three viruses could be detected.
All tests are designed for use by healthcare professionals only.
Both the Simple/Stick Ag SARS-CoV-2 test and the Simple Ag SARS-CoV-2/Flu A+B test use monoclonal antibodies specific to the N protein of the SARS-CoV-2 virus and are therefore suitable for detecting the different prevalent variants of the virus.
Indeed, both tests are designed to be as safe as possible for the user. Both tests are designed to be as safe as possible for the professional who performs them, so the diluent contains virus-inactivating detergents.
The tests detect the nucleoprotein of Influenza virus type A and type B, in separate bands.
Influenza type A viruses are generally more frequent than type B viruses, and are associated with the most severe influenza epidemics (especially the H3N2 subtype), while type B infections are usually milder. Within type A, the H1N1 and H3N2 subtypes are the most important in humans.
Influenza A viruses are generally more common than type B viruses. Within type A, the N1N1 subtypes are the most important in humans. The evaluation of the diagnostic sensitivity and specificity of our kit has not been done with samples characterised at subtype level. However, for the determination of the analytical sensitivity of Influenza type A we used a reference standard of the H1N1 subtype, so we can confirm that the Stick/Simple Flu A+B test detects the H1N1 influenza subtype.
The tests detect the F protein, which is responsible for fusion and entry of the virus into the cell. It is present in both subtypes of RSV (types A and B), and in all genotypes into which they are divided.
The tests detect the Adenovirus hexon, which is a highly conserved protein in the various serotypes of the Adenovirus family. Types 3, 4, 7 and 14 are the most commonly associated with respiratory infection.
The tests are compatible with different means of transport, which are indicated in the instructions for use of each product.
In general, we recommend Flocked Swabs from Copan Flock Technologies to ensure optimal test performance. In the Instructions for Use of each product, the swabs that have been evaluated and with which the best results are obtained are indicated. In addition, we have some references that include swabs.
