COVID-19 Antigen Rapid Detection Kit (card type)
Interpretation of Test Results
★ NEGATIVE: A colored band appears on the control line (C line); no colored band shows up on the test line (T line). A negative result indicates there is no coronavirus antigen (N protein) in the specimen, or the level of coronavirus antigen is below the detection limit.
★ POSITIVE: A colored band appears on the control line (C line), a second colored band shows up on the test line (T line). A positive result indicates the presence of COVID-19 antigen (N protein) in the patient sample.
★ INVALID: No colored band appears on the control line (C line). An invalid test result suggests there might be insufficient buffer volume or incorrect operating procedures. Carefully review the test procedure and test the same patient again with another coronavirus antigen rapid test cassette. Contact your distributor if the problem persists.
Intended Use:
The kit is used for the detection of novel coronavirus and novel coronavirus mutant strain(B.1.1.7 strain)in oropharyngeal swabs and nasopharyngeal swab samples of people suspected of novel coronaviruse infection with pneumonia. The antigen testing is generally used for sample testing within 7 days of the onset of symptoms in the suspected population during the acute infection period.
The results should be combined with nucleic acid testing, imaging and other diagnostic information, medical history and contact history to determine the infection status.
Storage Conditions and Shelf Life:
Stored in a dry place at 2-30 ℃ and the shelf life is 18 months.
Detection Principle:
The kit uses the principle of the colloidal gold sandwich method to qualitatively detect the novel coronavirus antigen and the novel coronavirus mutant (B.1.1.7 strain) antigen in human throat swabs and nasopharyngeal swab samples.
Sample Requirements:
Laryngeal secretion and nasopharyngeal secretion
