Evaluation of the limit of detection of the BD Veritor™ system flu A+B test and two rapid influenza detection tests for influenza virus ☆

Abstract We evaluated the limits of detection of 3 rapid influenza diagnostic tests—BD Veritor TM System for Flu A+B, Binax NOW® Influenza A+B, and QuickVue® Influenza—for influenza strains circulating in 2010–2012. Limits of detection varied by influenza strain, with Veritor TM Flu A+B test showing the lowest limit of detection for all strains.
