The Rapid Response™ COVID-19 Antigen Rapid Test is an in vitro immunochromatographic assay for the direct and qualitative detection of SARS-CoV-2 viral nucleoprotein antigens from nasopharyngeal secretions and oropharyngeal secretions from individuals suspected of COVID-19 within the first two weeks of symptom onset. The presence of a coloured band in the test region indicates a positive result for the SARS-CoV-2 viral antigens, while its absence indicates a negative result. This test is intended for professional use only.
Test Procedure
Bring devices, reagents, and specimens and/or controls to room temperature (15~30℃) before use.
- For each specimen, open the foil pouch just before testing and remove the test device, and put it on a clean, level surface. Label the tube with the patient identification. For best results, the assay should be performed within one hour.<
- Gently mix extraction buffer. Add 10 drops into the extraction tube.
- Insert the swab into the extraction tube. Mix well and squeeze the swab 10-15 times by compressing the walls of the tube against the swab. Stand for 2 minutes.
- Roll the swab head against the inner wall of the tube as you remove it. Try to release as much liquid as possible. Dispose of the used swab in accordance with your biohazard waste disposal protocol.
- Insert nozzle into sample extraction tube. Invert the tube and add 2 drops of solution into the sample well by gently squeezing the tube.
- Read results at 15 minutes.
- The colour intensity in the test region (T) may vary depending on the concentration of analytes present in the specimen. Therefore, any shade of color in the test region should be considered positive. Note that this is a qualitative test only and cannot determine the concentration of analytes in the specimen.
- Insufficient specimen volume, incorrect operating procedure or expired tests are the most likely reasons for control band failure.
