About Respiratory infections
The Respiratory infections branch organizes assay kits by clinical area, exact analyte or panel, result type and documented format. Clinical-area membership is a navigation aid; intended use comes from each product specification and current manufacturer instructions.
Molecular assays detect or characterize nucleic acid targets. Qualitative detection, calibrated quantification and genotyping answer different questions. Compare the full panel and instrument workflow; fluorescence or Ct reporting alone does not establish quantitative performance.
For product selection, compare the complete target panel, qualitative or quantitative result, genotype coverage, extraction method, validated specimen, instrument and current intended-use label.
Explore the indexed subcategories: Influenza A, B; Influenza A H1N1 & H3N2; Avian A Screening & H5N1Typing FRT; Influenza virus A H5 H7 H9 Typing FRT; Swine Influenza Virus A/H1; additional groups are listed in the category directory. Narrow the branch to the required target, activity or format before comparing product candidates.

What to check before choosing a product
Final groups are designed around experimental substitution requirements. Group membership is provisional until the necessary technical details have been verified for the intended experiment.
Start with your application, then verify the technical requirements against each manufacturer’s documentation.
