  Abstract

For Rubella virus IgG and IgM detection, VIDIA assays were compared to VIDAS®, AxSYM® and LIAISON® on 419 sera. Only VIDIA produced sensitivity of 100% for IgG and IgM. VIDIA specificity was 98.4% for IgG and 99.8% for IgM, vs 100% and 99.3% of VIDAS. VIDIA IgG and IgM assays performed equally well.
