V-Chek 2019-nCoV Ag Saliva Rapid Test Kit

General information: Severe acute respiratory syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is the name given to the new coronavirus that originated in 2019 and is the causative agent of COVID-19 (the disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus). The virus was originally known as the 2019-nCoV nomenclature. SARS-CoV-2 is a new coronavirus strain that has not been previously identified in humans. The genome of these viruses consists of single-stranded RNA protected by two protein coatings - nucleocapsid and capsid. Its genetic characteristics are significantly different from SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV. V-Chek 2019-nCoV Ag Saliva Rapid Test Kit is a three-step in vitro diagnostic test based on the immunochromatographic assay. It is designed for the qualitative detection of SARS-CoV-2 antigens in saliva specimens of suspected patients up to 7 days after the first symptoms. Results in 10 minutes Specimen: Saliva All necessary reagents provided (individually packed) Easy sampling and highest accuracy Principle of the Test: V-Chek 2019-nCoV Ag Saliva Rapid Test Kit uses a double-antibody sandwich to legally detect the antigen of novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) in saliva samples. During detection, the gold-labeled anti-2019-nCoV monoclonal antibody in the labeling pad binds to the 2019-nCoV antigen in the sample to form a complex, and the reaction complex moves forward along the nitrocellulose membrane under the action of chromatography, it is captured by the anti-2019-nCoV monoclonal antibody pre-coated by the detection zone (T) on the nitrocellulose membrane, and finally a red color reaction line is formed in the T zone. If the sample does not contain 2019-nCoV antigen, a red color reaction line cannot be formed in the T zone. Regardless of whether the sample to be tested contains 2019-nCoV antigen, a red reaction line will always form in the quality control area (C).
