Description
The test is designed to diagnose COVID-19 in patients of any age, even those without acute respiratory viral infection symptoms. It detects the specific nucleocapsid antigen of the SARS-CoV-2 virus in nasopharyngeal and oropharyngeal samples. A positive result indicates the presence of the SARS-CoV-2 viral antigen at the time of sample collection, indicating active infection. However, PCR testing is recommended for definitive confirmation of the diagnosis.
