What is the science behind the covid-19 rapid antigen test?

The SARS-CoV-2 antigen rapid test is a lateral flow chromatographic immunoassay for the qualitative detection of the nucleocapsid protein antigen from SARS-CoV-2 in nasal swab specimens directly from individuals who are suspected of an active COVID-19 infection by their healthcare provider within the first seven days of the onset of symptoms.

How does the test work?

The covid-19 rapid antigen testing kit is designed to provide a fast and accurate method of detecting an active Covid-19 infection. The process involves taking a sample from both nostrils using a sterile swab. The swab is then inserted into the extraction solution tube and mixed well. The solution from the extraction tube is then added to the test cassette and results are shown on the cassette after 15 minutes. For best results, this procedure should be done straight after taking the swab sample but it can be done for up to an hour after taking the sample.
