Labmaster LUCIA - MxA Kit for Viral Infection Detection from Blood

The Labmaster LUCIA™ MxA Kit is a sophisticated in vitro diagnostic tool used for the quantitative assessment of the Myxovirus resistance protein A (MxA) in whole blood samples. This diagnostic method offers a reliable means for identifying acute respiratory tract viral infections, leveraging MxA as a biomarker. The test requires minimal blood volume and delivers results swiftly in about 11 minutes, making it an efficient choice for near-patient testing environments. It functions in conjunction with the semi-automated Labmaster LUCIA™ Analyzer, which is not included within the kit. The kit encompasses 40 ready-to-use test setups that include components like MxA cassettes, reaction tubes, and lysis solutions. Important specs feature a sensitivity of 91%, specificity of 98%, and a measuring range between 50 and 1000 ng/mL. Storing conditions require a temperature range of +2 to +8 °C, which is critical for maintaining test accuracy and reliability.
