What is antigen testing?

Antigen tests detect proteins specific to a virus that appears in infected individuals, indicating active infection. Rapid antigen testing is beneficial because of its portability, ease of use, and swift time to result.

What is the extraction buffer?

Does the test kit include transport media?

The test kit includes an extraction buffer used to prepare the specimen for testing purposes. The extraction buffer IS NOT transport media and should not be used to preserve or transport samples.

Can the test be used with alternative specimen types such as nasal swabs or any specimen contained in viral transport media?

The Rapid COVID-19 Antigen Test is for direct nasopharyngeal swab specimen only, and the test can only be used with the swab provided in the kit.
