What is the rapid antigen test?
Rapid antigen tests could help quickly identify those who may have been exposed to the virus and isolate them from the community. STANDARD Q COVID-19 Ag Home Test is a rapid antigen test to detect infection in people suspected of having COVID-19.
How can this diagnose COVID-19 in just 15 minutes?
This test detects the presence of viral proteins called the COVID-19 virus antigen. If an antigen is present in the respiratory sample, the test device will capture it and display it to you through a coloured band. With technology from global diagnostic company SD Biosensor, you can get highly accurate results within 15 minutes.
This is a safe test for the detection of COVID-19 infection. This test is ideally designed to protect you and your family from the spread of the virus. During the test, you will place a swab soaked in the sample into the “solution tube.” This solution works to perform tests, while at the same time inactivating the virus. This avoids the risk of infection by inactivating the virus in 2 minutes without affecting the test results.
