How a test reads.
- Result windowTwo lines. The control line (C) shows the test ran; the test line (T) is the result. Each datasheet states how to read that product.
- Sample typesSerum, plasma or whole blood for most tests, urine for pregnancy, and faeces for FOB and H. pylori antigen. Each datasheet states which, and how much.
- POCT kitsPoint-of-care packs ship with a lancet and a swab, so a fingertip sample can be taken where the test is run.
- StorageNo cold chain in transit or on the shelf. Storage conditions and shelf life are printed on the box and in the datasheet.

Questions buyers ask.
Do Reckon’s rapid tests need an instrument?
No. The cassettes and strips are read by eye, with no instrument and no cold chain: a result is a control line and a test line.
How long does a result take?
Between 3 and 20 minutes, depending on the test. For 25 of the 36 rapid test datasheets that give a reading time, it is 15 to 20 minutes, and each product page states its own.
What sample does each test take?
It depends on the test. Each product page lists the samples its datasheet allows, such as serum, plasma or whole blood.
How many rapid tests does Reckon make?
37 formats across malaria, dengue, HIV, hepatitis, syphilis, typhoid and pregnancy, made and batch-released in the same ISO 13485:2016 building in Vadodara as Reckon’s reagents.
