- A rapid, point-of-care lateral-flow immunochromatographic assay. It is used for the qualitative detection of the SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid protein antigen directly from patient nasal secretions
Uses
- Acute Infection Screening:
- Diagnoses active SARS-CoV-2 viral infections in individuals exhibiting upper respiratory infection signs within the first 4 days of symptom onset
- Point-of-Care Diagnostics:
- Deployed across physician offices, community medical clinics, nursing homes, and urgent care networks to enable fast on-site triage
- Universal Age Evaluation:
- Validated for screening symptomatic individuals across all age brackets, including pediatric and geriatric patient demographics
Features
- CLIA Waived Status:
- Certified for decentralized point-of-care environments, permitting general clinic staff to safely execute the testing process without advanced lab certifications
- Pre-Rendered Extraction Tubes:
- Eliminates the need for external dispensing pipettes by using integrated dropper tip caps for direct fluid application
- Anterior Nasal Swabbing:
- Utilizes shallow, less-invasive nose swabs to capture specimens, significantly maximizing patient physical comfort compared to deep nasopharyngeal alternatives
- Commercial 25-Test Layout:
- Formulated as an all-inclusive box containing 25 visual test devices, pre-filled extraction buffer tubes, sterile collection swabs, and a workstation grid
- "QC Inside®" Allocation:
- Ships with 2 extra test sticks strictly designated for running external positive and negative quality controls, delivering a total of 27 test sticks per package
Benefits
- Accelerated Treatment Path:
- Delivers reliable diagnostic data in 15 minutes or less, helping clinicians isolate active cases and prescribe antivirals instantly
- Streamlined Clinical Workflows:
- Requires zero specialized instruments, digital readers, or complex laboratory processing machinery
- Domestic Logistics Stability:
- Formulated and manufactured in the USA, insulating healthcare networks from international customs delays and product shipping shortages
- Reduced Operational Waste:
- The pre-filled extraction buffers avoid manual reagent pouring or volumetric measuring errors by medical personnel
