Immunoassay reagents designed to perform tests on a body fluid sample, usually whole blood, in a short period of time (i.e., rapid tests), typically several minutes. These reagents are mostly used in point-of-care assays or less frequently in tests performed at home by healthcare providers; some of them are available in kits that include an antibody or antigen, a calibrator, and other specific (e.g., activator) reagents.
