The COVID-19 Antigen rapid Test (Oral Fluid) is a rapid chromatographic immunoassay for the qualitative detection of SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid protein antigens in oral fluid specimens from individuals with suspected of SARS-CoV-2 infection in conjunction with clinical presentation and the results of other laboratory tests. Results are for the detection of SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid protein
antigens.
The test is taken to:
- Diagnose infection
- Test following infection to see if the virus has been cleared
- Screen asymptomatic individuals to detect if they carry virus and are potentially infectious
