Clearview Strep A Exact II Dipstick

Rapid, reliable detection of Group A Streptococcus is what turns a busy waiting room into a confident treatment decision. The Clearview Strep A Exact II Dipstick is a CLIA-waived rapid antigen test designed for point-of-care use, letting clinicians identify strep throat directly from a throat swab without waiting on lab turnaround. For primary care offices, urgent care clinics, pediatric practices, and school health rooms, that speed means antibiotics can be started — or safely withheld — during the same visit.

Buyers evaluating this test usually want to know three things: how it fits their workflow, how accurate it is, and what it takes to run. The dipstick format is straightforward — the swab specimen is processed in extraction reagent, the dipstick is inserted, and results develop as colored lines within minutes. Its simplicity is part of the appeal, keeping training minimal and reducing the chance of procedural error across staff. Because it's CLIA-waived, it can be performed in settings without a dedicated laboratory.

Sensitivity and specificity are the metrics that matter most for a strep test, since a missed positive can delay treatment and a false positive drives unnecessary antibiotics. The Exact II line was built around dependable performance for exactly this reason, giving clinicians results they can act on with confidence. Many practices still confirm negative rapid results with culture in pediatric patients, following standard guidelines — a workflow this dipstick supports well as a first-line screen.

When ordering, consider your testing volume, kit contents (swabs, extraction reagents, and controls), and shelf-life so stock aligns with demand. Keeping rapid strep supplies on hand year-round — with extra reserves through fall and winter peaks — helps avoid gaps during the busiest respiratory season.
