Website Provides Information on Respiratory Viruses

By LabMedica International staff writers
Posted on 21 Oct 2009
A newly launched website offers answers to questions on how to avoid and detect respiratory viruses, including the 2009 Influenza A/H1N1 pandemic flu virus. More...


Launched by Luminex Corporation (Austin, TX, USA), the website also offers the latest information on the company's xTAG RVP respiratory viral panel (RVP), a comprehensive multiplexed test for the detection of multiple viral strains and subtypes.

The Website is separated into two sections: one for physicians' needs and one specifically designed for patients. The physician section of the site focuses on respiratory virus testing and the technologies that can be used to detect them. Additionally, the site features a special section on xTAG RVP and 2009 Influenza A/H1N1 pandemic flu. Case studies are available for download, as well as links to several publications and scientific posters.

The patient section of the Website provides the latest information about flu and respiratory viruses, how to avoid infection, and what to look for in the newest tests and treatments. It describes the different types of respiratory viruses that can circulate in communities and details common symptoms for each. The website also provides a glossary of respiratory virus-related terms and a frequently asked questions section.

Luminex Corporation develops, manufactures, and markets proprietary biological testing technologies with applications throughout the diagnostic and life sciences industries. The company's xMAP multiplex solutions include an open-architecture, multi-analyte technology platform that delivers bioassay results to markets such as clinical diagnostics, pharmaceutic drug discovery, and biomedical research.
