A patient in urgent care with a fever and a cough doesn’t need a differential diagnosis in three days. They need an answer before they leave the building, so their clinician can treat the right infection instead of guessing. That’s the gap point-of-care infectious disease testing is built to close, and it’s why we’re bringing our diagnostics portfolio to IDWeek 2026 this October, our first year exhibiting at the event.

What Products Does Healgen Offer?

Infectious Disease Portfolio

The infectious disease line covers the respiratory and bacterial pathogens that drive the highest volume of point-of-care testing, in formats built for both clinical settings and home use. These tools are designed to support hospitals, urgent care clinics, physician offices, and public health labs working to identify and contain infectious disease faster, the exact mission IDWeek convenes around each year.

Rapid Check COVID-19/Flu A&B Antigen Test

Available as both an OTC self-test and a professional-use version with external controls, this combination test detects three of the most common respiratory pathogens in a single sample. During flu season, that means fewer tests run per patient and faster triage decisions.

Rapid COVID-19 Antigen Test

A CLIA-waived, professional-use test built for clinics and testing sites that need a dedicated COVID-19 result without added analytes.

Rapid Check RSV Antigen Test Cassette

A CLIA-waived, prescription-use test aimed at the two populations RSV hits hardest, children under six and adults over sixty, giving clinicians a same-visit answer for a virus that can escalate quickly in both groups.

Rapid Strep A Antigen Test

A CLIA-waived, prescription-use test that delivers results in five minutes, helping providers decide on antibiotics at the point of care instead of waiting on a send-out culture.

Why IDWeek, and Why Now

Infectious disease testing only works if it’s fast enough to change what happens next, and that’s the standard this portfolio is built around. Exhibiting at IDWeek for the first time puts that portfolio in front of the specialists who set testing protocols and stewardship guidelines, not just the clinicians who run the tests. It’s a chance to hear directly what this audience needs from a diagnostics partner, and to build relationships Healgen expects to carry into future infectious disease launches.

Why Visit Healgen at IDWeek 2026

IDWeek draws the people responsible for identifying outbreaks early and keeping infections from spreading further, from hospital epidemiologists to public health microbiologists. Whether you’re evaluating a new point-of-care testing supplier, comparing panels for your lab, or looking for a partner as your infectious disease menu grows, our team will be on-site with samples and specifics.
