IVD
The antigen COVID test is a rapid, qualitative diagnostic tool designed to detect antigens associated with multiple respiratory pathogens, including Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV), Adenovirus (ADV), human Metapneumovirus (hMPV), Influenza A, and Influenza B. By targeting viral antigens directly from patient samples, the test provides quick and reliable results, supporting timely clinical decisions and infection control.
This test can identify both viable and non-viable strains of these viruses. The outcome depends on the antigen levels present in the specimen and may not always align with culture or molecular assay findings performed on the same sample. With its ease of use, speed, and broad pathogen coverage, the antigen COVID test is an essential solution for differentiating respiratory illnesses with overlapping symptoms such as fever, cough, and sore throat.

What does antigen mean in a COVID test?
The new coronavirus antigen usually refers to the structural protein component on the surface of the new coronavirus. The new coronavirus antigen detected clinically is mainly the N protein, which can be identified by using specific antibodies to detect whether there is a new coronavirus infection.
