INTRODUCTION
The novel coronaviruses belong to the β genus. COVID-19 is an acute respiratory infectious disease.People are generally susceptible.Currently, the patients infected by the novel coronavirus are the main source of infection; asymptomatically infected people can also be an infectious source.Based on the current epidemiologicai investigation, the incubation period is 1 to 14 days, mostly 3 to 7 days.The main manifestations include fever, fatigue and dry cough.Nasal congestion, runny nose, sore throat,myalgiaand diarrhea are found in a few cases.
Influenza A/B viruses(Flu A/B) can cause acute respiratory infections,and people are generally susceptible.These two viruses are highly contagious, spread quickly, have a short incubation period, and have a high incidence.The main symptoms are fever, dry cough, fatigue, etc. Therefore, the detection of COVID-19, Flu A/B has relatively great clinical findings.
PRINCIPLE
These two tests use colloidal gold immunochromatography to detect COVID-19 and Flu A/B antigens. The test of COVID-19 use COVID-19 monoclonal antibody (test line T) and goat anti-mouse polyclonal antibody (control line C) immobilised on a nitrocellulose strip. The burgundy colored conjugate pad contains colloidal gold conjugated to another COVID-19 monoclonal antibody. When the processed buffer containing the sample is added to the sample well,
