The COVID-19 Antigen Rapid Test device is a lateral flow chromatographic immunoassay for the qualitative detection of the nucleocapsid(N) protein antigen from SARS-CoV-2 in nasopharyngeal swab, oropharyngeal swab. It provides an aid in the diagnosis of infection with 2019-nCOV.
[INTERPRETATION OF RESULTS]
POSITIVE RESULT: Two colored bands appear on the membrane. One bland appears in the control region (C) and another band appears in the
test region (T).
NEGATIVE RESULT: Only one colored band appears in the control region (C). No apparent colored band appears in the test region (T).
INVALID RESULT: Control band fails to appear. Results from any test which has not produced a control band at the specified reading time
must be discarded. Please review the procedure and repeat with a new test. If the problem persists, discontinue using the kit immediately and
contact your local distributor.
HOW DO SELF AG TESTS WORK?
SARS-CoV-2 Antigen Rapid Test Kit tests can be designed to analyse various body fluids, but in the case of COVID-19, most tests analyse material collected from the back of someone’s nose and throat. The swab is then inserted into a tube of liquid, after which a sample of this liquid is deposited on a small absorbent pad contained within the disposable testing kit. The liquid is drawn along the pad by capillary action, until it encounters a strip coated in antibodies which are specific to proteins, also known as antigens, from the SARS-CoV-2 virus. If viral proteins are present, this will show up as a coloured line – much like a positive pregnancy test
