Respiratory/Sore Throat (R/ST) Panel Mini
The CLIA-waived SPOTFIRE R/ST Panel Mini offers the same speed and flexibility as the expanded SPOTFIRE R/ST Panel, but with condensed Respiratory and Sore Throat pathogen menus. Each menu offers 5 targets and delivers PCR results in about 15 minutes.

Several respiratory pathogens can cause nearly indistinguishable symptoms, making respiratory and sore throat infections difficult to diagnose based on symptoms alone.
