Adenovirus Enteric
Antigen Rapid Test
Rapid chromatographic immunoassay for the targeted qualitative detection of enteric Adenovirus antigens (serotypes 40 and 41) in human stool specimens. Dedicated point-of-care pediatric diagnostic tool for prolonged infantile diarrhea with visual results in 10 minutes.
Diagnosing Prolonged Pediatric Gastroenteritis
Adenovirus serotypes 40 and 41 (subgenus F) are critical causes of prolonged dehydrating diarrhea in infants and young children, often lasting 10 to 14 days. Rapid point-of-care stool testing differentiates viral enteritis from bacterial dysentery.
Serotype 40 & 41 Detection
Unlike respiratory adenoviruses, enteric adenoviruses replicate selectively in the gut. The assay uses monoclonal antibodies targeting enteric hexon epitopes.
- Exclusively detects gastrointestinal adenovirus strains
- Identifies causes of persistent watery diarrhea
- Essential for pediatric gastroenterology workups
99.1% Diagnostic Concordance
Extensively validated against clinical ELISA and PCR methods, offering high analytical sensitivity even during resolving viral excretion.
- Analytical LoD: 1.0 x 10³ TCID50/mL
- Zero cross-reactivity with Rotavirus, Norovirus, or E. coli
- Direct fecal extraction in closed collection tubes
Preventing Inappropriate Antibiotics
Prolonged childhood diarrhea often prompts unnecessary antibiotic regimens. Confirming adenoviral etiology promotes antimicrobial stewardship.
- Protects developing pediatric gut microbiomes
- Enables immediate fluid rehydration therapy
- Same-day dispatch across Dubai & Abu Dhabi

4-Step Rapid Diagnostic Protocol
Standardized testing protocol for solid or watery stool specimens using pre-dispensed buffer tubes.
Stool Sampling
Unscrew collection tube cap. Insert grooved applicator stick into 3 different sites of the stool specimen (~50 mg, 1/4 pea size). For liquid diarrhea, aspirate 50 µL.
Buffer Extraction
Re-insert stick into extraction tube containing buffer. Tighten cap securely and shake vigorously for 15 seconds to ensure complete viral dissolution.
Cassette Loading
Break off the dropper tip. Invert collection tube vertically and dispense exactly 2 drops (approx. 80 µL) of the sample extract into sample well (S).
10-Min Readout
Start timer. Read visual test results at exactly 10 minutes. Do not interpret after 15 minutes as background drying may alter faint line verification.

Frequently Asked Questions

Contact Clinical SpecialistHow does enteric adenovirus differ from respiratory adenovirus?
Enteric adenoviruses (subgenus F, serotypes 40 and 41) specifically infect gastrointestinal mucosa causing persistent diarrhea and vomiting, whereas respiratory adenoviruses cause pharyngitis and pneumonia.
Does this test cross-react with non-enteric adenoviruses or rotavirus?
No. Monoclonal antibodies preferentially target hexon epitopes characteristic of enteric subgenus F, with zero cross-reactivity against respiratory adenoviruses or rotavirus.
What is the clinical sensitivity and turnaround time?
The assay delivers 98.5% sensitivity and 99.3% specificity compared to reference ELISA, with clear visual results ready at 10 minutes.
What packaging configuration is provided?
Each box includes 25 individually sealed cassettes, 25 pre-filled extraction tubes with integrated collection sticks, and instructions for use.
