Evaluation of a Prototype of a Novel Galactomannan Sandwich Assay Using the VIDAS ® Technology for the Diagnosis of Invasive Aspergillosis

Conclusions: This new VIDAS ® GM prototype assay showed adequate analytical and clinical performance and a good correlation with that of Platelia ™ Aspergillus Ag with 126 sera, although these results need to be confirmed in a larger prospective and multicentric study. As for the other VIDAS ® assays, VIDAS ® GM is a single-sample automated test using a solid reagent strip and receptacle. It is easy to use and suitable for rapid on-demand test results.
