COVID-19 IgG/IgM antibody rapid test kit

Test kits are designed for use where a preliminary screening test result is required and are especially useful in resource-limited settings.Test kits are of high quality. They are quick (10 minutes to 2 hours) and easy to perform. Kits are based on agglutination, immuno-chromatographic, immuno-dot, and/or immuno-filtration techniques. They are suitable for individual or a limited number of samples, and require little or no additional equipment, which makes them more economical than ELISAs in fully equipped laboratories. It's possible to store at room temperature for an extended period of time.

The COVID-19 IgG/IgM antibody rapid test kit is a lateral flow immunoassay intended for qualitative detection and differentiation of Immunoglobulin M (IgM) and Immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 in human serum, acid citrate dextrose (ACD) plasma and fingerstick whole blood. The Rapid COVID-19 IgM/IgG Combo Test Kit is intended for use as an aid in identifying individuals with an adaptive immune response to SARS-CoV-2, indicating recent or prior infection. The Rapid COVID-19 IgM/IgG Combo Test Kit should not be used to diagnose or exclude acute SARS-CoV-2 infection. At this time, it is unknown for how long antibodies persist following infection and if the presence of antibodies confers protective immunity.

SARS-CoV-2 antigen rapid test kit consists of a colloidal gold coupling pad and a membrane strip precoated with the test strain (T) specific antibody. If the SARS-COV-2 antigen is present in the specimen, a visible band (T) appears on the test card in the form of an antibody-antibody-antibody-gold-coupled complex. The control line (C) is used for program control and should always be present if the tests are executed correctly. The kit does not require expensive medical equipment or consumables. Just put the sample in the sample hole.

Face masks can trap fluid droplets that exit the mouth while you’re speaking. If you have COVID-19, these droplets contain virus that can be inhaled by others. Masks can also help protect the people wearing them. Studies have found that face masks block aerosols from entering the airway very effectively. Even if a mask doesn’t block all of the aerosols, it may still protect the wearer against severe disease. Wearing a mask may help the body clear out the virus from the lower airway before it reaches the lungs.

CE FFP2 face masks conform to specified standards and is made from synthetic, non-woven materials. They filter more than 94-95% (depending on the type) of tiny particles and have a closer fit designed to protect the wearer. FFPs are technically designated as single-use, or ‘non-reusable’ products (this is what the NR on the packet denotes). But evidence is mounting to support the view that FFP masks can be reworn, as they may remain effective for longer periods of time.

FFP2 filter masks supposedly protect both the wearer and the people around them. The filtration systems of FFP2 are 94 percent effective. FFP2 masks are defined as being composed of three layers of synthetic non-woven materials, available in different thicknesses, with the inclusion of filtration layers between.
