An antigen test reveals if a person is currently infected with a pathogen such as
the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Once the infection has gone, the antigen disappears.
Unlike nucleic acid based tests such as PCR, which detect the presence of genetic
material, antigen tests detect proteins or glycans, such as the spike proteins found
on the surface of the SARS-CoV-2 virus.
They can take longer to develop than molecular and antibody tests, as suitable
antibodies for use in the assays must first be identified and produced, which can
be a complex and time-consuming process. Accuracy can also be a problem, with
antigen tests typically having a much lower sensitivity than PCR.
However, they usually provide test results rapidly, are relatively cheap, and can be
more amenable to point-of-care use, which could make them more suitable for
testing in the community and in remote regions.
Rapid Antigen tests
Rapid, accurate tests are essential to contain a highly contagious virus like SARS-CoV-2.
PCR tests are accurate but can take a long time to produce results. Antigen tests,
the other major type of coronavirus test, while much faster, are less accurate.
Antigens are substances that cause the body to produce an immune response –
they trigger the generation of antibodies. These tests use lab-made antibodies to
search for antigens from the SARS-CoV-2 virus.
To run an antigen test, you first treat a sample with a liquid containing salt and soap
that breaks apart cells and other particles. Then you apply this liquid to a test strip
that has antibodies specific to SARS-CoV-2 painted on it in a thin line.
Just like antibodies in your body, the ones on the test strip will bind to any antigen
in the sample. If the antibodies bind to coronavirus antigens, a colored line appears
on the test strip indicating the presence of SARS-CoV-2.
Antigen tests have a number of strengths. First, they are so easy to use that people
with no special training can perform them and interpret the results – even at home.
They also produce results quickly, typically in less than 15 minutes. Another benefit
is that these tests can be relatively inexpensive at around $10-$15 per test.
Antigen tests do have some drawbacks. Depending on the situation, they can be
less accurate than PCR tests. When a person is symptomatic or has a lot of virus in
their system, antigen tests are very accurate. However, unlike molecular PCR tests,
antigen tests don’t amplify the thing they are looking for. This means there needs to
be enough viral antigen in the sample for the antibodies on the test strip to generate
a signal. When a person is in the early stages of infection, not a lot of virus is in the
nose and throat, from which the samples are taken. So, antigen tests can miss early
cases of COVID-19. It’s also during this stage that a person has no symptoms, so
they are more likely to be unaware they’re infected.
Understanding the strengths and limitations of both PCR and antigen tests, and
when to use them, can help to bring the COVID-19 pandemic under control.
So, the next time you get a COVID-19 test, choose the one that is right for you.
COVID-19 RAPID ANTIGEN TEST
The COVID-19 rapid antigen test detects protein fragments specific to the
Coronavirus. Rapid antigen testing is a faster way to detect if you have a current
COVID-19 infection. Rapid antigen testing may be helpful for those who want
quick results to meet a testing requirement for an event or travel. For example,
this test can be used if you plan to visit a location or establishment that requires
testing prior to arrival. Testing requirements vary by location and may change
over time. This test requires a nasal or nasopharyngeal swab. With our product
testing, results may come back in as soon as 10 – 15 minutes.
Common COVID-19 symptoms include fever, cough, and shortness of breath.
How the test works?
A sample is collected through a nasal or throat swab and mixed with
a solution. The solution is then placed onto an indicator device that may
detect the presence of the virus that causes COVID-19.
Test Purpose: Used to detect an active infection.
Sample Type: Nasal or Nasopharyngeal Swab
Results Time: 10 – 15 Minutes*
(Wait times may vary depending on volume)
【PRODUCT NAME】
SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) Antigen Rapid Test Kit(Colloidal Gold)
【SPECIFICATION】
1 test/kit;20 tests/kit; 25 tests/kit; 50 tests/kit.
【INTENDED USE】
This kit is intended to be used for the qualitative detection of SARS-CoV-2 antigen
in human respiratory specimens, sputum, and other samples. This kit uses cellulose
membrane immunochromatography technology.
Antigen detection is used for auxiliary diagnosis or epidemiological investigation
of human infection with SARS-CoV-2.
【When should I use a rapid antigen test?】
If you are a close contact, you can use an rapid antigen test for your initial and day
6 test. You can also purchase and use rapid antigen tests from us:
or worried.
Accessing rapid antigen tests
If you are not a close contact, rapid antigen tests are sold commercially in
supermarkets and pharmacies.
Components | 1T | 20T | 25T | 50T |
1. SARS-CoV-2 test card | 1 PIECE | 20 PIECES | 25 PIECES | 50 PIECES |
2. Disposable sampling tube(with sample diluent buffer) | 1 PIECE | 20 PIECES | 25 PIECES | 50 PIECES |
3. Disposable sampler | 1 PIECE | 20 PIECES | 25 PIECES | 50 PIECES |
4. Instructions | 1 COPY | 1 COPY | 1 COPY | 1 COPY |
Note: The components in the kits of different batch numbers are not interchangeable.
The materials and instruments necessary for the test but not provided are as follows:
Lancet;
Absorbent paper or similar material;
Timer;
Micropipette corresponding to the range;
Laboratory safety protection equipment such as disposable gloves, etc.
【RESULTS ANALYSIS】
The interpretation of visual interpretation results (as shown below):
1. The results can be read directly by naked eyes as shown in the figures below:
Positive result: a visible band
can be seen in both line C and line T.
2. Negative result: A visible band can be seen in line C only.
3. Invalid result: A visible band cannot be seen in line C, and the test must be
repeated using a new strip.
【MANAGEMENT OF RESULTS】
【REPORTING YOUR RESULT】
You are legally required to report all positive rapid antigen test results. You must
report your positive result if you get your test from a designated RAT Collection
Point, from a retail outlet, from your workplace or through any other means
(i.e. over the internet).
You can also report negative and invalid test results to help provide a full picture
of rates of COVID-19 testing in the state.
【WHAT DO I DO IF I HAVE A POSITIVE RESULT?】
【WHAT DO I DO IF I HAVE A NEGATIVE RESULT?】
If you are a close contact with no COVID-19 symptoms and test negative, you do not
need to get a PCR test to confirm your result.
If you have COVID-19 symptoms and test negative, you must get a PCR test to
confirm your result. Rapid antigen tests are not as sensitive as PCR tests, which
means that just because you have a negative result in a rapid antigen test, it does
not mean that you do not have COVID-19.
【STORAGE CONDITIONS AND SHELF LIFE】
Stored at 2°C ~ 30°C, and kept away from direct sunlight.
The validity period is 12 months.
After the aluminum foil bag is opened, the Detection Strip should be used within 1 hour.
The Sample Diluent Buffer should be capped immediately after usage.
