VIDAS 3 Reagents

VIDAS 3 runs single-use, ready-to-use reagents—one patient, one test, one result. All components needed for the test are included in the kit, and results are ready in ~17­–90 minutes.1

VIDAS 3 uses the ELFA assay principle, a proprietary technology that ensures excellent sensitivity and specificity by combining the ELISA test method with a final blue fluorescent reading.
