Rapid Mono Test: How Does it Work?

This video explains how a rapid Mono or MonoSpot test is performed from collection to processing to results. Patients can even purchase test kits and perform at home! Purchase info below. The science behind rapid mono tests is also described in the latter half of the video. (Hint! It's called a lateral flow assay incorporating both cow proteins and mouse antibodies!) Keep in mind that this test may be falsely negative for mono if performed too soon (within 2 weeks of illness onset).
