Adenoviruses (HAdV) are a diverse group of non-enveloped DNA viruses that pose a significant threat to human health, with over 100 identified serotypes classified into seven species (A to G). These viruses exhibit broad tissue tropism, meaning they can infect multiple organs and systems—ranging from the respiratory tract and eyes to the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, liver, urinary tract, and adenoids. Among these, enteric adenoviruses (primarily belonging to species F, including HAdV-F40 and HAdV-F41) are recognized as a leading cause of GI infections worldwide, particularly in vulnerable populations like children under 5 years old.
According to global health data, diarrhea—often driven by enteric adenovirus infections—contributes to approximately 530,000 deaths annually in children under 5, highlighting the critical need for rapid and accurate diagnostic tools to curb transmission and guide timely treatment.
Traditional methods for adenovirus detection, such as viral culture or conventional PCR, often require specialized laboratory equipment, skilled personnel, and long turnaround times (ranging from 24 hours to several days). This delay can hinder prompt clinical decision-making, especially in settings with limited resources (e.g., primary care clinics, pediatric hospitals, or regional diagnostic centers).
In response to this unmet need, our Adenovirus Rapid Assay Kit (Cat.No: CA-00145) is specifically designed to target GI-associated adenovirus infections. By focusing on fecal specimens— the primary sample type for detecting enteric adenoviruses—this kit addresses a key gap in point-of-care (POC) and clinical diagnostics, enabling healthcare providers to quickly identify infections and implement appropriate interventions (e.g., supportive care, infection control measures) to reduce disease spread.
The kit leverages simplified, user-friendly protocols that eliminate the need for complex lab infrastructure, making it accessible to a wide range of healthcare settings. Its development aligns with global efforts to strengthen diagnostic capacity for infectious diseases, particularly in low- to middle-income regions where rapid testing is often a bottleneck in patient care.
Targeted GI Adenovirus Detection: Specifically optimized to detect adenoviruses associated with gastrointestinal diseases, focusing on the high-impact enteric serotypes (e.g., HAdV-F40, HAdV-F41) that are major causes of pediatric diarrhea.
Fecal Specimen Compatibility: Designed for use with fecal samples— the most clinically relevant specimen type for identifying enteric adenovirus infections—ensuring high diagnostic relevance and accuracy for GI-focused testing scenarios.
Broad Temperature Stability: Stores safely at 4–30°C and supports room-temperature transportation, eliminating the need for cold-chain logistics. This feature simplifies storage and distribution, especially in regions with inconsistent refrigeration access.
Simple Step-by-Step Protocol: Operates through a straightforward, easy-to-follow procedure that requires minimal technical expertise. This reduces the risk of human error and allows for use in non-specialized lab or clinical settings (e.g., primary care offices, pediatric clinics).
Rapid Turnaround: Delivers results efficiently (consistent with industry standards for rapid adenovirus assays), enabling healthcare providers to make timely decisions about patient care, infection control, and treatment plans.
Qualitative Detection: Provides clear, reliable qualitative results (positive/negative) that directly aid in confirming or ruling out adenovirus-driven GI infections, supporting quick clinical decision-making.
Enhanced Clinical Relevance for GI Care: Unlike general adenovirus tests that may target respiratory or ocular serotypes, this kit is tailored to GI infections—addressing a specific, high-burden clinical need (e.g., pediatric diarrhea outbreaks, community-acquired GI illness) and ensuring results align with frontline diagnostic priorities.
Cost and Logistics Efficiency: Room-temperature storage and transportation eliminate costs associated with cold-chain management (e.g., refrigerated shipping, specialized storage units). This makes the kit more affordable and accessible for healthcare facilities with limited budgets.
User Accessibility: The simplified protocol removes barriers to use, such as the need for advanced lab equipment or highly trained staff. This allows smaller clinics, rural health centers, or mobile diagnostic units to incorporate adenovirus testing into their standard workflows.
Reliable Performance in Diverse Settings: The broad operating temperature range (4–30°C) ensures consistent performance even in environments with fluctuating temperatures, making it suitable for use in both developed and resource-limited regions.
Supports Infection Control: By enabling rapid detection of enteric adenoviruses, the kit helps identify infected patients early—reducing the risk of cross-transmission in healthcare facilities (e.g., pediatric wards, daycares) and community settings.
For in vitro diagnostic use.
