Inverness Medical announces the launch of a new 30-minute test for C. difficile. Based on the 2-step approach, the ‘C.DIFF QUIK CHECK COMPLETE’ test detects C.difficile antigen and C. difficile toxins A and B in one simple assay, providing a more complete diagnostic picture for improved patient care and infection control. The new 2-step approach screens faecal samples for glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH), the C. diifficile ‘common antigen’ that has been identified as an excellent screening marker for the infection, and simultaneously tests for toxigenic strains including the hyper-virulant Bi/NAP1/027 that is causing severe outbreaks across Europe and North America.
