RETRO-RV Multiplex Respiratory Panel

Simultaneous Multi-Pathogen Detection

One Strip. Multiple Pathogens. Faster Decisions.

RETRO-RV represents a significant advancement in respiratory diagnostics, enabling simultaneous detection of SARS-CoV-2, Influenza A, Influenza B, and Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) using a single lateral flow immunoassay. This multiplex approach addresses one of the most persistent challenges in respiratory medicine: the clinical similarity of symptoms across different viral infections.

Traditional diagnostic workflows often require multiple separate tests, leading to increased costs, extended turnaround times, and delayed treatment decisions. RETRO-RV consolidates this process into a streamlined 10-20 minute assay that delivers immediate visual qualitative results. For healthcare providers requiring enhanced precision, our optional camera-based reader system converts these visual results into semi-quantitative data with test-to-control ratio calculations and color index analysis.

How It Works:

Collect nasopharyngeal or oropharyngeal swab
Mix with extraction buffer and apply to sample pad
Visual readout at 10–20 minutes or image-based quantitation via reader/cloud

Key Features

Multiplex Detection

Detects four major respiratory viruses on a single strip: SARS-CoV-2, Influenza A, Influenza B, and RSV

Minimal Sample Handling

Streamlined workflow reduces processing time and potential contamination risks

Cloud-Based Analytics

Optional semi-quantitative analytics through camera-based readers and cloud integration

Ideal For

Emergency departments, urgent care clinics, primary care offices, occupational health settings, travel screening facilities, and public health surveillance programs. The rapid turnaround enables immediate treatment decisions, appropriate patient isolation protocols, and targeted antiviral therapy when indicated.

Key Benefits:

Reduces diagnostic uncertainty
Enables differential diagnosis at point-of-care
Supports appropriate antibiotic stewardship
Facilitates timely antiviral treatment
Provides actionable results during peak respiratory virus seasons
