LIAISON® Urinary Ag tests
Less than one hour to precisely identify causative pneumonia pathogens
LIAISON® CLIA Urinary Ag assays quickly, accurately and automatically identify S. pneumoniae and L. pneumophila antigens from a single urinary sample.
Background
A unique solution for the rapid detection of S. pneumoniae and L. pneumophila antigens from a single urinary sample
Determining pneumococcal etiology at an early stage of community-acquired pneumonia encourages clinicians to administer a pathogen-directed therapy. It can also help de-escalate prescribed broad-spectrum antibiotic treatments.
The LIAISON® CLIA Urinary Ag solution quickly, accurately and automatically identifies S. pneumoniae and L. pneumophila antigens in urinary specimens of adult patients with suspected pneumonia. The automatic interpretation of test results allows healthcare professionals to rapidly distinguish between pneumococcal pneumonia and Legionella infection.
How it works
LIAISON® Urinary Ag tests represent an exclusive diagnostic solution to detect 91 S. pneumoniae serogroups, L. pneumophila and Legionella spp.
No need for specialized staff
LIAISON® Urinary Ag tests run on the LIAISON® XL and LIAISON® XS chemiluminescence analyzers in any laboratory.
Less than an hour to results
Fast, accurate results enable patients to be treated with the suitable antibiotic within 4 hours.
High-quality, ready-to-use CLIA assay
Standardized objective results with automatic processing and interpretation ensure optimal harmonization between urgent, specialty and routine tests.
