Tell me about the Retrochek a rapid test kit for detection of HIV?

I NEED THE DETAILS OF RETROCHEK RAPID HIV TEST KIT BASED ON THE PRINCIPLE OF IMMUNOCHROMATOGRAPHY(LATERAL FLOW).i NEED ITS SENSITIVITY ,SPECIFICITY.,TYPE OF SAMPLE IT REQUIRES ,EQUIPMENT NEEDED IN ORDER TO DECIDE WHETHER IT CAN BE USED AS A SPECIFIC TEST FOR THE CONFORMATION OF THE RESULT GIVEN BY THE DETERMINE KIT USED AS A SCREENING TEST .

RETROCHECK-HIV is a technological breakthrough. It is third generation, rapid, self-performing test for the simultaneous detection of antibodies to the HIV-1 and HIV-2 virus in serum, plasma or even whole blood. It takes only fifteen minutes to complete the test. Because of its simplicity it can be performed by virtually anyone. No specialized equipment or training is required to read the results.In vitro, rapid, self performing, qualitative, two site, sandwich lateral flow immunochromatographic assay

RETROCHECK-HIV detects HIV infection in the early stage of infection (when the patients do not have symptoms) and is a useful tool in preventing the spread of HIV.The kit is in the form of a single use applicator.RETROCHECK HIV kit contains individually pouched devices and sample running buffer
