Rapid COVID-19 Test
What is it?

The Rapid COVID-19 Test detects the presence of viral proteins (antigens) expressed by the COVID-19 virus in a sample from the patient’s respiratory tract. If the target antigen is present in sufficient concentrations, it will bind to specific antibodies fixed to a paper strip enclosed in a plastic casing and generate a visually detectable signal, typically within 15 minutes. The antigen(s) detected are expressed only when the virus is actively replicating; therefore, such tests are best used to identify acute or early infection.
