Quidel QuickVue+ Infectious Disease Test Kits

I have just received the following test kits on short consignment. They are priced well below the best retail price I could find on the net. Manufactured by Quidel these are two versions of their QuickVue+ tests. One tests for Influenza A & B, the other for Strep A. Both produce accurate results in less than 10 minutes versus 24-48 hours for lab cultures.

Items are in date, store at room temperature, and are uncomplicated enough for home or free-standing clinic use. Pictorial instructions are included inside each box.

These are CLIA-waived tests. No special lab training or controls are required. Quidel is one of the top manufacturers of point-of-care testing kits. Practical shelf life on these kits should be at least 2 years beyond manufacturer's expiration dating. Individual test cassettes are foil sealed.

Promised buyer backed out. Items remain available. I am keeping one influenza test kit for myself owing to the predictions for this year's flu season.
