COVID-19 Accurate Rapid Antigen Test Kit
Test Principle:
This COVID-19 antigen test kit uses immunochromatography for detection. The specimen will move forward along the test card under capillary action. If the specimen contains a novel corona virus antigen, the antigen will bind to the colloidal gold-labeled new corona virus monoclonal antibody. The immune complex will be captured by corona virus monoclonal antibodies which are membrane fixed form the fuchsia line, display will be corona virus antigen positive. If the line does not show color, the negative result will be displayed. The test card also contains a quality control line, which shall appear fuchsia regardless ofwhether there is a test line.
