Testing Methods for SARS-Cov-2 SARS-Cov-2
Medomics – SARS-CoV-2 Antigen Test Kit (LFIA) determines if someone is infected by detecting the presence of viral material.
How does the virus infect the cell
- For the virus to invade the human cells, it needs to attach to the ACE2 receptor with the receptor binding domain (RBD) of the Spike protein.
- Colloidal gold-labeled anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibody and quality control antibody are sprayed on conjugation pad.
- Test line is fixed with anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibody for detecting the novel coronavirus and the quality control antibody is fixed on the Control line.
Advantage of Medomics – SARS-CoV-2 Antigen Test Kit (LFIA)
- It is easy to use
- It show accurate result
- Show result in just 15 minutes
Tests to detect SARS-CoV-2 infection
There are several types of tests used to detect SARS-CoV-2,1 and their performance characteristics vary.
- Tests can provide results quickly (within minutes); others require processing time.
- Several tests require specialized training in a laboratory, while others can be performed at the point of care or at home.
- It is possible for some tests to identify SARS-CoV-2 without a false-negative result; other tests can identify SARS-CoV-2 without a false-positive result; and some tests can identify both.
- Because some tests are less expensive and easier to perform, and supplies are readily available, they can be performed frequently.
