COVID-19 IgG/IgM Antibody Test Device

The Rapid Response COVID-19 IgG/IgM Test Cassette is a rapid, qualitative test for the detection of anti-SARS-CoV-2 IgM and anti-SARS-CoV-2 IgG antibodies in human whole blood, serum, or plasma samples, as an aid in the diagnosis of COVID-19 disease.

With a virus where time is of the essence, our new Rapid Response COVID-19 Antigen Rapid Test Device allows for an accurate, fast, convenient, and cost-friendly method of detection. In 15 minutes, our test is able to detect the SARS-CoV-2 viral nucleoprotein antigen through visual interpretation of colour in a few simple steps. The test is designed to detect active infection in individuals suspected of COVID-19 within the first two weeks of symptoms onset.

RAPID TESTS EXPLAINED

  • The body has multiple defence mechanisms to ward off infectious diseases. One arm of the immune system, the humoral immune response, creates small proteins called Antibodies in response to foreign Antigens (molecules that are parts of viruses or bacteria).

  • IgM is the first antibody created in the humoral immune response. It is the “first force” to fight against infection. The presence of IgM in serum indicates a new infection, which can be considered for early diagnosis of infection.

  • IgG is another antibody created by the humoral immune response about 10-14 days following an infection. It is important for helping the body rapidly respond to re-infection with the same pathogen. The detection of IgG antibody can be used for the overall diagnosis of infection.
