What is the INSTI Multiplex Test? | Catie.ca
Health Canada has authorized bioLytical’s INSTI Multiplex HIV-1/HIV-2/Syphilis Antibody Test (INSTI multiplex test) for clinical use. In Canada, this is the first approved rapid point-of-care (POC) test for both HIV and syphilis and the first approved rapid POC syphilis test of any kind. The INSTI multiplex test is a single screening test that detects both HIV and syphilis antibodies using a single blood sample. The test requires a few drops of blood from a finger prick and produces accurate results within minutes.
