SARS-CoV-2 IgG/IgM rapid test is a lateral flow immunoassay intended for the qualitative detection of IgM and IgG antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 in the blood (serum, plasma) from patients suspected of COVID-19. The SARS-CoV-2 IgG/IgM rapid [...] -
Nasopharyngeal (NP) swab is the optimal upper respiratory tract specimen collection method for viral respiratory infections such as respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), SARS-CoV-2, influenza virus A & B, and parainfluenza virus. Nasopharyngeal swabs are also [...] -
Rapid collection and testing of appropriate specimens from patients meeting the suspected case definition for COVID-19 is a must for outbreak control and clinical management. Molecular testing is the current recommended method for the identification [...] -
