Rapid COVID-19 antigen test kit is capable of detecting the new SARS-COV-2 strain found in the United Kingdom.
Antigen Rapid Test Kit produces accurate results in as little as 15 minutes. The test, designed to be as easy to administer as a saliva test, uses a small nasal swab inserted approximately 2.5 centimeters into the nostril. The smaller swab is far less-invasive than the longer nasopharyngeal (NP) swab used in most COVID-19 tests worldwide.
The evolutionary test kit relies on a lateral flow immunoassay for the qualitative detection of COVID-19 antigens in upper respiratory samples during the acute phase of infection. This style of test is widely used internationally for rapid coronavirus screening and diagnosis. The test was clinically evaluated to prove its efficacy.

The detection sensitivity is 98.13%, and the specificity is 99.22%.
Positive Percent Agreement (PPA) = 105/107 (98.13%) (95%CI: 93.4%~99.8%)
Negative Percent Agreement (NPA) = 382/385 (99.22%) (95%CI:97.7%~99.8%)
Accuracy = (105+382)/492×100%=98.98%
Kappa = 2×(105×382-3×2)/(108×385+107 ×384) = 0.97＞0.5
The limit of detection (LOD) of this product is 1.6 x 102 TCID50/mL, calculated through a gradient dilution method.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Adults aged 18 and over: self-test (unless unable to do so)
- Teenagers aged 12 to 17: self-test with adult supervision.
- Children 11 and under: adult to test.
The test can be used when you suspect that you have symptoms of the coronavirus, such as a new continuous cough or loss of smell or taste. You can also take the test to make sure you are not infectious before visiting friends, family or public venues.
The test kit has specific, clear instructions that also include diagrams to demonstrate each stage of taking the test. It is highly advised to read the instructions before taking the test to ensure you have fully understood the process.
The accuracy rate of the tests is up to 85%.
The test kit has the CE declaration of conformity for use in the European Union which demonstrates conformity with health, safety and environmental protection for products sold within the European Economic Area (EEA).
One of the biggest differences between the two tests are the time frame to receive results. The PCR test results have a two-day waiting period, as they need to be sent off to a lab. Whilst you can receive results after a 15-minute wait with an antigen test.
Once you have done a swab sample, this will be mixed with a solution that unleashes specific viral proteins. The combination is then applied to a paper strip that contains a specific antibody that will detect your status. Please read the instructions carefully before using the test.
No, this test is not sufficient for you to travel abroad. You will need to take the PCR test for travelling abroad.
