Kit Components
Components | Specification | Per package |
Detection Card | Novel Coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) Antigen Detection Card | 50 tests /100 tests |
Virus Preservation Solution | 25 ml/bottle | 1 bottle/2 bottles |
Kit performance advantage
1. Quick and easy: Put throat swab sample into virus preservation solution and extraction (Sample collection should conform to standard) . After extraction, the virus preservation solution is test sample; Sample Input Add 60μL test sample into detection card; Let the detection card standing about 15 minutes in room temperature. Using UV light to obtainFinal Result
2. Good Specificity: no obvious cross-reaction between N protein of common human infection coronavirus and bat source coronavirus, also no cross-reaction between the kit and influenza a/b virus, measles virus, mumps virus, rubella virus, varicella zoster virus, staphylococcus aureus, pseudomonas aeruginosa, etc.
3. High Sensitivity
4. Short Window Period: Antigen detection is direct evidence of viral infection; New crown pneumonia is also contagious during the incubation period. If new crown potential patients gets the antigen detection, it could have implications for potential patients.;There is a window period for antibody detection. Detection antigen has a high probability to obtain positive results at that time. The results could provide strong evidence for the disease evaluation.

Comparing Different Detection Method
Nucleic acids detection | Antigens detection | Antibodies detection | |
Detection Period | At least 1h | 15min | 15min |
Specificity and Sensitivity | Good Specificity and High Sensitivity | Good Specificity, High Sensitivity | Low specificity, Low sensitivity |
Automation Degree | Medium | Low | Low |
Operate Difficulty Level | Difficulty and Complex | Easy | Easy |
Appear (Detectable) Time | Early | Early | Late |
Detection Sample | Throat Swab | Serum |
Specificity:Response false positive rate, good specificity means low false positive rate.
Sensitivity:Response False negative rate, high Sensitivity means low false negative rate.
