The ImmunoCard STAT!® Rotavirus Immunoassay is a rapid in vitro qualitative procedure for the detection of rotavirus antigen in human stool. The test can be used to aid in the diagnosis of rotavirus associated gastroenteritis.

Rotavirus is a major cause of acute gastroenteritis, especially in children 6 to 24 months in age. In addition, rotavirus infections can produce severe illness as well as asymptomatic infection in adults.The ImmunoCard STAT! Rotavirus assay detects the presence of rotavirus antigen in stool. Patient specimen is diluted 1:15 in sample diluent. The suspension is mixed and 150 µl is added to the sample port of the device. The sample mobilizes gold particles coated with monoclonal antibody to rotavirus and migrates along the membrane through the Test (polyclonal anti-rotavirus antibody) and Control zones.
