SARS-CoV-2 Nasal & Oral Antigen Detection Kits
This coronavirus antigen test kit is a lateral flow immunisation for the qualitative detection of SARS-COV-2 antigen (nucleoside protein) in upper respiratory samples with nasal swabs or saliva during the acute phase of infection. With the properties of fast, accurate, easy to use and reliable. For in vitriol diagnostic use only and self-testing.

Q: How accurate is antigen rapid test kit?
A: For rapid antigen tests, this includes a clinical sensitivity of at least 80% (for specimens collected within 7 days of symptom onset) and a clinical specificity of at least 98%.
Q: Is there a difference between rapid antigen and antigen test?
A: The rapid test is less accurate and there is a greater chance for a false negative. Plus, the test will only pick up if the virus is active in your body, meaning asymptomatic cases – when someone doesn't have any symptoms – are harder to identify with the antigen test.
Q: What is a PCR test?
A: The PCR test takes a sample of ribonucleic acid (RNA) and “amplifies” it with the help of lab technologies. Amplifying RNA helps to make even small traces of the COVID-19 virus visible in the test sample. Even if you have a small trace of the virus in your system, the PCR test will detect it.
The PCR test doesn’t alter your genetic material – DNA – in any way, and your test provider isn’t able to do anything with your DNA besides tell if you’re positive with COVID-19.
Q: What is a antigen test?
A: The rapid test, called an antigen test, checks for proteins that are found on the outside of the virus.
The antigen test mimics what antibodies do. Antibodies are the “good guys” that attach to the antigen protein (the “bad guys”) and fight the virus. When you give your nasal swab sample, it’s put into a liquid and then onto a test strip.
The test strip acts like an antibody – if there are any COVID-19 antigen “bad guys” in your system, the molecules in the liquid will attach to those antigens, and a line will appear on the test strip. This means you’re positive for COVID-19. If there are no antigens detected in your system, the liquid doesn’t respond and no line will appear, often meaning you are negative for the virus.
Q: Can at-home COVID-19 tests detect Omicron?
A: The answer is yes. Although rapid antigen tests might have reduced sensitivity at detecting the omicron variant.The omicron variant has some mutation-related changes in the nucleocapsid protein, which is the target that most at-home antigen tests are designed to detect.
Q: Which is better RT-PCR or antigen?
A: Although it is less sensitive than the RT-PCR test, the antigen test is an effective way to monitor infection in people who are in close contact with COVID-19 infected. Rapid antigen tests are often used as mass screening tests to detect SARS-CoV-2 infection quickly in containment zones or healthcare settings.
