and whirl gently
Insert the test and wait
just 15 minutes
22 test strips in a kit
1 positive and 1 negative control
Yes, a timer.
It only takes 15 minutes for a result, so a timer is needed. A standard sterile container is needed, for when the test is complete
A positive and a negative control does not need to be performed every time the kit is used. We recommend each control is tested once when the kit is opened.
Additional control tests may be run if required by QA policy.
500 µl of each control is provided and each test requires 120 µl .
It does not matter which control tube is tested first. Prepare the samples and controls in their individual tubes according to the method, and then add one test strip to each tube. Wait 15 minutes and the test result should be read within 5 minutes after that.
120µl of urine is used for the test (3 drops of 40µl each)
Morning urine samples are preferred as the concentration of antigens will be highest. But the test can also be used with sample collected throughout the day.
It is very simple to see if the test is working.
If the control line on the strip is purple/grey, the test is working
If there is no control line on the strip, the test is invalid, and the sample should be retested.
Please notice, that a faint line for either S. pneumoniae or Legionella should be considered a positive sample
On the lid of the box you can easily see how the ImmuView strips should be interpreted, or you can watch the short video on this page to learn more.
The test has been validated for use with frozen samples stored for up to 2 weeks at -20°C.
Samples which has been frozen for a longer period of time, may result in a decrease in sensitivity of the assay.
The kit does not require boiling
However, you can boil the sample to confirm a positive result, if the result is invalid, or if the urine sample contains visible blood.
Please refer to the IFU in the packaging for further explanation
Yes – simply grab the top end of the strip and remove the strips from the tube. It is very easy.
Do not touch the test area where the lines become visible, or the bottom of the strip. Please see the video of how to use ImmuView, where the entire process of collecting a sample is shown.
Do not add more buffer as this will dilute the sample. Wait until the end of 15 minutes and if the control line is not visible, repeat the test. If this happens again, contact SSI Diagnostica.
The results are read by eye. Any blue or red line is regarded as positive, even if the line is faint. Please see the video of how to use ImmuView®, where you can see how to read and interpret the result

The clinical symptoms are to a large extent the same. This is one of the main reasons why it makes perfect sense to test for both Streptococcus pneumoniae and a Legionella infection with just 1 ImmuView test.
The ImmuView® S. pneumoniae and L. pneumophila has been shown to detect other non-serogroup 1 Legionella7
