The S. PneumoStrip kit is the only test in the market that allows for the easy and rapid identification of 76 serotypes S. pneumoniae in a single test, including those present in vaccines, which allows for monitoring the efficacy and effect of the vaccines. It has a 99.9% correlation with the Gold Standard (Quellung), with the added advantage of being faster, simpler, and cheaper. In addition, it allows the use of samples without a previous culture, so that results can be obtained even from those strains that are not viable in culture.
