Immunological Lateral Flow Tests

Convenient, Rapid Pathogen Detection

Merck’s Singlepath® and Duopath® Lateral Flow Tests are immunoassays for detecting pathogens with the ultimate convenience. Covering the major pathogens, the tests act as mini-laboratories in the “pregnancy test” format and always include a built-in control reaction. Another major advantage is that they deliver definite results as little as 20 minutes after sample enrichment.

Merck Lateral Flow Tests offer all the benefits of traditional testing methods with the addition of simplicity, speed, reliability and convenience. Use in combination with our granulated culture media to ensure optimal test performance. Singlepath® E. coli O157, Singlepath® Salmonella, Singlepath® Campylobacter and Duopath® Verotoxins rapid tests are AOAC-RI approved.
