We've had recent local interest to measure this as well so all really helpful and thanks for posting your initial query Sally. For those of you using or looking at the Quidel Triage method could I confirm are you performing the test in the lab or have any of you looked at/been been able to perform this at Point of Care e.g in Maternity?
It looks it is 15 mins per test, so taking into account QC and requirement for EDTA plasma these would all be important factors.
Many thanks,
Andy
