ZaineLab is a state-of-the-art PCR laboratory service
An antigen is a substance (protein) that causes the immune system to produce antibodies and trigger an immune response. In the case of COVID-19, spike proteins are found on the surface of SARS-CoV-2 virus. Therefore, the antigen test detects these proteins or genetic material of the SARS-CoV-2 virus.
Antigen tests generally have similar specificity but are less sensitive than PCR TESTS, they are also faster and less expensive than RT PCR and can provide results in minutes, making them useful in screening programs to quickly identify persons who are likely to have COVID-19.
Rapid antigen tests are most accurate when used within a few days of the start of your symptoms, which is when the largest amount of virus is present in your body
There are antigen tests available for at-home testing (self-testing), at the point of care, or in a laboratory. Because of the performance characteristics of antigen tests, it may be necessary to confirm some antigen test results (a negative test in persons with symptoms or a positive test in persons without symptoms) with a laboratory-based RT PCR TEST.
Covid-19 rapid antigen testing is recommended as a high performing test for individuals with symptoms, high-risk populations, and healthcare or casual workers.
Unlike every other Covid-19 test, Antigen tests are more affordable, Cheaper, easier to use and provide results within 30 minutes at the point of care.
