Covid-19 Antibody Test Kit (Box of 25 Tests)

This test is CE marked for Professional use only. SureScreen’s COVID-19 rapid test identifies the body’s response to coronavirus after the onset of infection, and gives a qualitative yes/no result within 10 minutes.

Implementing rapid screening for COVID-19 has huge time and cost savings when compared to laboratory screening, and will help to control the spread of the virus by identifying infection rapidly and accurately.

The test cassette is easy to use, needing only a finger-prick sample to function, much like a blood glucose test

As well as whole blood, the cassette can also be run with serum or plasma samples.

The test kit are based on long-standing technology, using antibodies that are specific to glycoproteins produced by infected individuals in response to coronavirus.

Two analytes of interest – Immunoglobulin M and G (IgM and IgG.)  Either of them showing up is a positive result.

Immunoglobulins are normally produced by the immune system in response to bacterial or viral infections and act to ‘flag’ the pathogen, so that other immune cells can detect and kill it.

The IgG/IgM that the test detects are specific to the SARS-CoV-2 virus, so a positive result would indicate the patient has contracted COVID-19.

What is Coronavirus?

• Corona – crown-like
• 7 types, 4 common, 3 serious
• SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19), MERS-CoV (MERS) and SARS-CoV-1 (SARS)

SureScreen’s COVID-19 Rapid Test identifies the body’s response to Coronavirus after the onset of infection, and gives a qualitative yes/no result as to whether antibodies have been produced by the body within 10 minutes.

• Sensitivity: 96.55%         
• Specificity: 99.67%

Over all accuracy 97.8% (IgM) and 99.6% (IgG)

The test cassette is easy to use, can be used at the patient side, and only requires a finger-prick sample to function, much like a blood glucose test. As well as whole blood, the cassette can also be run with serum or plasma samples.

Importantly the test kits are CE marked for Professional use, using all EUROPEAN MANUFACTURED COMPONENTS
