Kovid-19 | Antigen determination, group profiles & home services

Sars-Cov-2 antigen test Is a rapid chromatographic immunoassay that qualitatively determines the presence of new Coronavirus antigen in a sample of nasopharyngeal smear.

The test is used to detect the presence of the virus in the body at an early stage (from the first day of symptoms) and in the acute period of infection to detect the antigen. Is an analogue of the PCR test.

It has a number of advantages:

• The test is characterized by high accuracy - 97,5%;
• Does not require additional equipment to detect the virus;
• Test performance and response time - 15-30 minutes;
• Ease of use, it is possible to perform the test at home;
• Getting test results quickly in the early stages of the disease (as soon as the first symptoms appear);
• Ability to make decision about isolation quickly..

This test is produced by the British company "Prestige Diagnostics", which is a leading manufacturer of diagnostic reagents. Reagents have the highest quality in accordance with international standards. The company has accreditation in accordance with ISO 13485: 2016 standard.

When should we take the test?

Antigen testing is recommended within 6 days of the onset of symptoms and antibody testing is recommended from the 7th day.

The test is designed for:

• For clinics: Through the test, medical staff can identify the person "carrier" of the virus in 15 minutes and decide whether to isolate the "carrier" of the virus or hospitalize the patient in a special ward.
• For laboratories: The test allows laboratories to detect the virus at an early stage (from the first day of symptoms) and in the acute phase of infection, through massive testing and leaving the home. Is an analogue of the PCR test.
• For employers: The test allows to identify infected employees at an early stage.
• For individuals: Anyone can take the test at home without special training. The test will allow us to find out if the respiratory symptoms are caused by Covid-19 infection.

How to prepare for the test?

No special training is required

A nose-throat smear is required for testing.
