AIVD Biotechs COVID-19 Ag test is a lateral flow immunoassay intended for the qualitative detection of nucleocapsid protein (NP) antigen from SARS-CoV-2 in direct nasal swabs from individuals suspected of COVID-19.
Description
This kit utilizes the principle of latex bead immunochromatography to qualitatively detect the new coronavirus (COVID-19) Np antigen in human nasal swabs. Lateral flow immunochromatographic assay provides an easy workflow, short turnaround time, and rapid diagnosis of COVID-19 suspected patients.
The test contains latex bead conjugate pad and a membrane strip pre-coated with antibodies specific to SARS-CoV-2 antigen on the test lines (T). If SARS-CoV-2 antigen is present in the specimen, a visible band appears on the test lines (T) as antibody-antigen-antibody latex bead complex forms. The control line (C) is used for procedural control and should always appear if the test is performed correctly.
This method does not require expensive medical instruments and consumables. Just take the specimen and add it to the sample well. If sample contains the antigen, it will interact with the latex bead-labeled COVID-19 anti-SARS-COV-2 NP antibodies on the conjugate pad.
Required components
1. A foil pouch with a desiccant and a single-use test card, 1 piece
3. Sterile swab, 1 piece
3. Extraction buffer tube (1 ml), 1 tube.
4. Instructions for use, 1 piece.
Specimen requirements:
1. Nasopharyngeal swab specimen.
2.Specimen should be tested as soon as possible upon collection. If the sample has to be stored, store the swab sample at room temperature for up to 1 hour or 2~8â?? for up to 4 hours prior to testing.
Specimen preparation
1. Insert the extraction buffer tube into the tube rack, make sure that the sample tube is firmly upright and touches the bottom of the rack.
2. Insert the swab into an extraction buffer tube.
3. Gently stir the swab in the tube, and then left swab inside the tube for 1 minute or Mix on the vortex mixer for about 30 seconds,
4. The sample should be tested immediately after collection.
If it cannot be tested in time, it should be stored in the virus transport matrix. The specimens can be stored at 2-8C for 4 hours
Basic Protocol
Step 1: If the sample is refrigerated, remove the sample to be tested and the required reagents from the storage conditions, equilibrate to room temperature (15~30C)
Step 2: When preparing to test, open the aluminum foil bag, take out the test card, and lay it flat on a table.
Step 3: Mark the sample number on the test card,
Step 4: Using pipette add 50ul of the sample into a sample well on the device,
Step 5: Read the result within 15 minutes,
Please read the result after 15 minutes. After observing and recording the result, please discard the test card to avoid affecting the result judgment.
Do not read test results after 30 minutes. It may give false results.
