The SARS-CoV-2 Antigen Rapid Test (COVID-19 Ag) is a rapid chromatographic immunoassay for the qualitative detection of novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 in human throat and nasal secretions.
The SARS-CoV-2 Antigen Rapid Test is for detection of SARS-CoV-2 antigens. Anti-SARS-CoV-2 monoclonal antibodies are coated in the test line and conjugated with the colloidal gold. During testing, the specimen reacts with the anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies conjugate in the test strip. The mixture then migrates upward on the membrane chromatographically by capillary action and reacts with another Anti-SARS-CoV-2 monoclonal antibodies in the test region. The complex is captured and forming a colored line in the Test line region. The SARS-CoV-2 Antigen Rapid Test contains anti-SARS-CoV-2 monoclonal antibodies conjugated particles and another anti-SARS-CoV-2 monoclonal antibodies are coated in the test line regions.
Features
C. Easy operation, no need equipment
Specimen collection and Preparation
The SARS-CoV-2 Antigen Rapid Test (COVID-19 Ag) can be performed using throat secretions and nasal secretions.
● Throat Secretions: Insert the sterile swab into the throat. Gently scrape the secretions around the wall of pharynx.
● Nasal Secretions: Insert the sterile swab into the deep nasal cavity. Gently rotate swab against wall of turbinate for several times. Make the swab wet as much as possible.
Limitation
1. The SARS-CoV-2 Antigen Rapid Test (COVID-19 Ag) is for in vitro diagnostic use only. This test should be used for the detection of SARS-CoV-2 antigens in human throat and nasal secretions
