Product Description
Overview
The antigen test kit tests are for an active infection of the SARS-CoV-2. Antigens are proteins presented on the outside of the virus. Once the infection has gone, the antigen too will disappear. To start, the swab is inserted into the nostril and mouth to take samples from the nasal cavity or tonsils. The collected sample is then placed into an extraction tube that contains approximately 0.3ml of the preservation solution.
After 2 minutes, place the specimen on a testing cassette and the result will reveal within 15 minutes. The accuracy ratings for the antigen test kit are up to 98% accurate and it can be used by medical professionals to confirm current infection.
Be mindful that a negative test result may occur if the test is taken too early into the infection.
