The Directigen™ EZ Flu A+B test is a rapid chromatographic immunoassay for the direct and qualitative detection of influenza A and B viral antigens from nasopharyngeal washes/aspirates and throat swabs of symptomatic patients. The Directigen™ EZ Flu A+B test is a differentiated test, such that influenza A viral antigens can be distinguished from influenza B viral antigens from a single processed sample using a single device.
