QuStick™

Early diagnosis of Strep A infection

Pebble
QuStick™ Strep A Rapid Test provides qualitative detection of Group A Streptococcal antigen directly from patient throat swab specimens in just five minutes.

Its ultra-sensitive design allows detection even when fewer bacterial colonies are present, making it effective for patients with less obvious symptoms and for cases that other rapid tests may miss.

This early detection enables faster diagnosis and treatment, improving patient outcomes and reducing healthcare costs.

The QuStick™ Strep A Rapid Test kits use a simple dipstick format and include everything needed to perform the test: individually pouched test strips, Reagents A and B, positive and negative external controls, sterile polyester throat swabs, extraction tubes, and a pictorial user guide.

QuStick™ Strep A kits are CLIA-waived and have a shelf life of 20 months, providing convenience and reliability for clinical settings.
