What is the GOLDSITE antigen test kit?

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

Goldsite COVID-19 Antigen Rapid Test Kit Principle

This kit uses lateral flow immunoassay technology. Using this test card...rapid detectionNucleocapsid protein from SARS-CoV-2. To begin the test, insert a self-collected nasal swab sample into the sampling tube. The pre-filled solution in the sampling tube interacts with the sample and appropriately promotes the exposure of the viral antigen to the antibody used in the test. The extracted sample is then added to the sample slot of the test kit. 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 procedure control line area (C). The absence of the test line (T) indicates that SARS-CoV-2 antigen was not detected, suggesting that SARS-CoV-2 is absent or below the detection limit of this reagent.

Goldsite COVID-19 Antigen Rapid Test Kit: Target Population

The Novel Coronavirus (2019-nCoV) Antigen Detection Kit (Colloidal Gold Method) is suitable for use by non-professionals in non-professional settings (self-testing) to aid in the rapid diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2 infection. Children under 15 years of age (at least 2 years old) should be tested with adult assistance. Rapid diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2 will help healthcare professionals treat patients and control outbreaks more effectively.

Goldsite COVID-19 Antigen Rapid Test Kit: 4 Usage Steps

1. Sample collection: rotate the nasal cavity clockwise and counterclockwise.
2. Prepare the sample by placing the nasal swab into the antigen extraction tube and stirring thoroughly. Then remove the tube and cap it.
3. To conduct the test, invert the test tube vertically and add two drops of test sample into the sample well. Start timing and wait 12 minutes.
4. Wait for the test results and check them against the results. If more than 15 minutes have passed, the results will no longer be valid.

Interpretation of Goldsite COVID-19 Antigen Rapid Test Results

Positive: Two red horizontal lines appear next to "C" and "T".
Negative: A red horizontal line appears next to "C".
Detection invalid: The red horizontal line only appears next to "T"; or no color appears at all.

Goldsite COVID-19 Antigen Rapid Test Kit Precautions

This product is suitable for in vitro diagnostics.
Before starting the test, please read the instruction manual carefully and follow the instructions.
Do not use if the packaging is damaged, the label is unclear, or the kit is expired.
Do not open the foil bag containing the test card before you are ready to use it.
Do not consume the desiccant.
Do not reuse kits, extraction tubes, or swabs.
Do not exchange or mix components from different batches of the kit.
When handling swabs, avoid touching the tip of the swab.
Insufficient or inappropriate specimen collection may result in false negative test results.
Dispose of the kit ingredients and samples in household waste.
It is recommended to use gloves during sampling and testing.

Goldsite COVID-19 Antigen Rapid Test Results

During the acute phase of infection, antigens can usually be detected in nasal swabs, indicating the presence of viral antigens. However, the infection status should be determined in conjunction with the patient's medical history and other diagnostic information. A positive result does not rule out bacterial infection or co-infection with other viruses. The detected pathogen may not be the exact cause of the disease.

A negative result should be considered a presumptive result and, if necessary, confirmed by molecular testing for patient management. A negative result does not rule out COVID-19 and should not be the sole basis for treatment or patient management decisions (including infection control decisions). A negative result should be considered in conjunction with the patient's recent exposure, medical history, and the presence of clinical signs and symptoms consistent with COVID-19. A negative test result coupled with persistent COVID-19 symptoms (such as fever, cough, and/or shortness of breath) may indicate ongoing SARS-CoV-2 infection, and follow-up care should be sought from a physician or healthcare professional.
