Reliable, rapid screening for SARS‑CoV‑2 antigen from nasal swab samples.
The COVID‑19 Antigen Rapid Test Cassette is a lateral flow immunoassay designed for the qualitative detection of SARS‑CoV‑2 antigen from nasal swab specimens. Antigen testing supports the screening of individuals with suspected acute infection and aids infection control decision‑making when used alongside clinical assessment.
Results are available within minutes using a simple cassette format suitable for point‑of‑care and laboratory settings. The test is intended for professional in vitro diagnostic use only and should not be used as the sole basis for diagnosis or patient management.

About COVID‑19 Antigen (Anterior Nares) Testing
COVID‑19 antigen testing using anterior nares (nasal swab) samples is used as a screening tool to detect the presence of SARS‑CoV‑2 antigen during active infection. The test identifies viral proteins collected from the front of the nasal cavity, supporting rapid assessment of individuals with suspected COVID‑19. Results should be interpreted alongside clinical findings and confirmatory testing where appropriate.
What does the COVID‑19 Antigen Rapid Test Cassette detect?
The test detects SARS‑CoV‑2 antigen in nasal swab specimens. SARS‑CoV‑2 is the virus responsible for COVID‑19 infection.
How is COVID‑19 antigen testing used in practice?
COVID‑19 antigen testing is used as a screening tool to support the assessment of individuals with suspected acute infection and to aid in infection control decision‑making.
Are the results diagnostic?
No. The COVID‑19 Antigen Rapid Test Cassette provides a screening result only. Results should be interpreted alongside clinical assessment and, where appropriate, confirmed using molecular testing.
What sample type is required for this test?
The test uses a nasal swab specimen, collected and processed using the supplied extraction materials.
What does a positive result indicate?
A positive result indicates the presence of SARS‑CoV‑2 (Covid-19) antigen in the specimen. It does not provide information on viral load or stage of infection.
Who is this test intended for?
The COVID‑19 Antigen Rapid Test Cassette is intended for professional in vitro diagnostic use only in clinical and healthcare screening environments as part of a broader respiratory infection assessment pathway.
