Theory
The SARS-CoV-2 Antigen Test Kit (GICA) is a colloidal gold enhanced double antibody sandwich immunoassay for the qualitative determination of nucleocapsid (N) protein of SARS-CoV-2 virus in human nasal (anterior) swab.
SARS-CoV-2 antibody is immobilized in the test region on nitrocellulose membrane. If the specimen contains SARS-CoV-2 antigen, during the assay specimen is allowed to react with the colored conjugate (SARS-CoV-2 antibody-colloidal gold conjugate); the mixture then migrates chromatographically on the membrane by the capillary action. An SARS-CoV-2 positive specimen produces a distinct color band in the test region, formed by the specific antibody antigen colored conjugate complex "(Au-SARS-CoV-2-Ab)-(SARS-CoV-2-Ag)- (SARS-CoV-2-Ab)". Absence of this colored band in the test region suggests a negative result. A colored band always appears in the control region serving as procedural control regardless of the specimen contains SARS-CoV-2 or not.
Test procedure
1. Twist off the buffer, dispense all of the buffer into the extraction tub.
2. Sample collecting.
3. Elution of samples from swabs
4. Sample adding
5. 15 minutes for result
6. Result Interpretation
