NEWGENE COVID-19 Antigen Detection Kit professional – nasal/sputum – 25 pieces

€3,03 (price excl. VAT: €2,50 )

This corona rapid test is suitable for the qualitative detection of new coronavirus in nasal swab samples and/or sputum samples. The package contains both nasal swabs and spit cups so the patient can choose how they want the test administered, either by using a nasopharyngeal nasal swab or by collecting a deep throat sputum sample. The sample is mixed with an extraction liquid and then dropped onto the test cassette. You will receive the test result within 15 to 30 minutes.

This product is for professional and clinical diagnostic use only. You need a BIG registration number or RIZIV number to be able to administer the tests.

The test has a sensitivity compared to the gold standard RT-PCR test of 97,3% and a specificity of 99,0%. The overall accuracy is 98,1%

Intended Use

This product is suitable for the qualitative detection of novel coronavirus in nasopharyngeal swab or sputum samples. It provides an aid in the diagnosis of infection with novel coronavirus.

SUMMARY

The novel coronaviruses belong to the β genus. COVID-19 is an acute respiratory infectious disease. People are generally susceptible. Currently, the patients infected by the novel coronavirus are the main source of infection; asymptomatic virus carriers can also be infectious sources. Based on the current epidemiological investigation, the incubation period is 1 to 14 days, mostly 3 to 7 days. The main manifestations include fever, fatigue and dry cough. Nasal congestion, runny nose, sore throat, myalgia and diarrhea are also found in some cases.

PRINCIPLE

The COVID-19 Antigen Detection Kit is an immunochromatographic membrane assay that uses highly sensitive monoclonal antibodies to detect nucleocapsid protein from SARS-CoV-2. The test strip is composed of the following parts: namely sample pad, reagent pad, reaction membrane, and absorbing pad. The reagent pad contains the colloidal-gold conjugated with the monoclonal antibody against the nucleocapsid protein of SARS-CoV-2; the reaction membrane contains the secondary antibodies for nucleocapsid protein of SARS-CoV-2. The whole strip is fixed inside a plastic device. When the sample is added into the sample well, conjugates absorbed in the reagent pad are dissolved and migrate along with the sample. If SARS-CoV-2 antigen is present in the sample, the complex of the anti-SARS-CoV-2 conjugate and the virus will be captured by the specific anti-SARS-CoV-2 monoclonal antibodies coated on the test line region ( T). Absence of the T line suggests a negative result. To serve as a procedural control, a red line will always appear in the control line region (C) indicating that proper volume of sample has been added and membrane wicking effect has occurred.
