cobas^® Strep A Assay

Strep A is responsible for over 600 million cases of pharyngitis annually. On a global scale, GAS is an important cause of morbidity and mortality.¹ The infection presents similar symptoms to other illnesses in the early stages, so providing patients with the correct diagnosis earlier can help prevent complications or the unnecessary use of antibiotics.

A real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test for the detection of Strep A in throat swab specimens from patients with signs and symptoms of pharyngitis, cobas^® Strep A delivers labquality results in ~15 minutes.

Help patients get the treatment and relief they need faster with the reliable accuracy of the cobas^® Strep A Test.²

*Note: The cobas^® Strep A assay is a rapid and easy to use molecular test that provides improved sensitivity over RADT, eliminating the need for confirmatory culture testing in adults and children.²
