The broadest HIV detection spectrum
Designed for every country with 100% sensitivity for HIV-1 group M (A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H), group O, group N and HIV-2.
Early HIV antibody detection
Without any compromise, Genscreen™ ULTRA HIV Ag-Ab shows the highest sensitivity for antibody detection among the Ag-Ab combined HIV screening kits, taking into account the variability of seroconversion profiles (seroconversion with undetectable or low level of HIV antigen).
Early HIV antigen detection
The excellent sensitivity for antibody detection is strengthened by the best HIV Ag detection:
Total HIV-1 Ag analytical sensitivity competition comparison from T.D. Ly (LCL). S. Laperche (INTS), XVIIème Colloque de Virologie de Versailles, 27 May 2004.
With an HIV Ag analytical sensitivity of 13 pg/ml, Genscreen ULTRA HIV is a "true" Ag-Ab combined kit for screenings of both HIV Ag and HIV Ab.
Early HIV global (antigen-antibody) detection
Ranking built from the analysis of 85 seroconversion panels (300 samples) from BBI, NABI and BCP :
