COVID-19 interleukin-6 test
The rapid interleukin-6 test kits from AFIAS are optimized for on-site diagnosis with high accuracy
Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is an early biomarker for acute inflammation to assist in the caring of critically ill patients or for identifying severe inflammatory response in patients with confirmed COVID-19. It is useful as an aid in management and monitoring of SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) inflammatory responses. This test is compatible with the AFIAS-1 and AFIAS-6 immunoassay systems.
* For in vitro diagnostic use only.
The AFIAS COVID-19 interleukin-6 test has a simple 3-step procedure
The AFIAS interleuking-6 test kit provides a fast and easy procedure for the qualitative detection of novel corona virus in human nasopharyngeal with only three steps:
- Collect capillary blood
- Place the C-tip in the cartridge tip hole and insert the cartridge into the slot
- Press START to run the test
After you inserted the AFIAS Antigen cartridge in your AFIAS-1 or AFIAS-6 wait for 12 minutes. The results will pop-up on the screen and gets printed.
