Description

Der BinaxNOW Legionella Urinary Antigen Card von Abbott ist ein immunchromatographischer Schnelltest für die professionelle Point-of-Care-Diagnostik von Legionella pneumophila Serogruppe 1. Der Test dient der qualitativen Antigendetektion im Urin von Patienten mit Symptomen einer Pneumonie und unterstützt die presumptive Diagnose einer Legionelleninfektion in Kombination mit weiteren diagnostischen Verfahren.

Der Legionellen Schnelltest eignet sich für Krankenhäuser, Notaufnahmen, mikrobiologische Labore und weitere medizinische Einrichtungen mit Bedarf an schneller Diagnostik bei respiratorischen Infektionen. Laut Hersteller kann die Auswertung visuell erfolgen oder optional mit dem DIGIVAL Reader zur standardisierten Interpretation von Lateral-Flow-Tests. Dadurch lässt sich der Workflow in diagnostischen Einrichtungen strukturierter gestalten.

Studies & Product Documents

Comparison of Four Streptococcus pneumoniae Urinary Antigen Tests Using Automated Readers (Wong et al., 2021)

"In conclusion, the present study compares for the first time four S. pneumoniae UATs with automatic interpretation using their respective readers on defined clinical samples [BinaxNOW S. pneumoniae Antigen Card (Abbott, Chicago, IL, USA), ImmuView S. pneumoniae and Legionella (SSI Diagnostica, Hillerød, Denmark), STANDARD F S. pneumoniae Ag FIA (SD Biosensor, Gyeonggi, South Korea), and Sofia S. pneumoniae FIA (Quidel Corporation, San Diego, CA, USA)]. The four assays performed similarly and are largely in agreement for the detection of S. pneumoniae urinary antigen. The use of a reader, availability of barcode scanning, and automated sample incubation brings increased flexibility, ease of use, and standardization in performing UATs in the clinical routine, thus improving patient diagnosis through increased efficiency and decreased probability of errors."

Comparison of the Novel Immunocatch Legionella Test with Sofia Legionella FIA Assay and with BinaxNOW Legionella Card Assay for Detection... (Congestrì et al., 2019)

The Immunocatch Legionella assay demonstrates excellent diagnostic performance for detecting L. pneumophila (serogroup 1) in urine, showing high sensitivity (98.5%) and specificity (99.4%) compared to the Sofia FIA and BinaxNOW tests. Despite relying on visual reading rather than automation, the test is a reliable, cost-effective, and user-friendly tool that streamlines laboratory workflows without requiring specialized equipment.
