What is the GOLDSITE Antigen Test?

This product is a single-use in vitro visual rapid immunochromatographic test for the qualitative detection of SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid (N) antigen in human nasal swab specimens. The results are used to identify the SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid protein antigen.

Goldsite COVID-19 rapid antigen test principle

This kit uses lateral flow immunoassay technology. Use this test card toRapid detectionNucleocapsid protein from SARS-CoV-2. To begin the test, a self-collected nasal swab sample is inserted into a sampling tube. The pre-filled solution in the sampling tube interacts with the sample and appropriately promotes the exposure of viral antigens to the antibodies used in the test, and the extracted sample is then added to the sample well of the test cartridge. If the extracted sample contains SARS-CoV-2 antigen, a pink or red line will appear on the test line area (T) and a red line will appear on the program control line area (C). The absence of the test line (T) indicates that no SARS-CoV-2 antigen was detected, indicating that SARS-CoV-2 is not present or is below the detection limit of this test.

Goldsite COVID-19 Rapid Antigen Test Results

During the acute phase of infection, antigens can usually be detected in nasal swabs, and a positive result indicates the presence of viral antigens, but the infection status should be determined in combination with the patient's medical history and other diagnostic information. A positive result does not exclude bacterial infection or coinfection with other viruses. The pathogen detected may not be the exact cause of the disease.

Negative results should be considered presumptive and, if necessary, confirmed by molecular testing for patient management. A negative result does not rule out COVID-2 and should not be used as the sole basis for treatment or patient management decisions, including infection control decisions. Negative results should be considered in light of the patient's recent exposure, medical history, and the presence of clinical signs and symptoms consistent with COVID-XNUMX. A negative test result but continued symptoms of COVID-XNUMX (such as fever, cough, and/or shortness of breath) may indicate ongoing SARS-CoV-XNUMX infection and should lead to follow-up care from a physician or healthcare provider.
