The Strep A Test is a rapid cassette test for the qualitative detection of Strep A antigens in a throat swab sample. The test is intended for in vitro diagnostics and may only be performed by healthcare professionals. It allows for the preliminary assessment of the presence of antigens associated with Group A streptococcal infection.

Streptococcus pyogenes, or Group A Streptococcus (GAS), is a bacterium responsible, among other things, for acute pharyngitis and tonsillitis, commonly known as strep throat. The infection spreads through respiratory droplets, and symptoms may include sudden sore throat, fever, swollen lymph nodes, and the presence of a white coating on the tonsils.

The test detects Strep A antigens, and the result can be read after just 5 minutes, allowing for rapid evaluation of the sample.
