SARS-CoV-2 Antigen Rapid Test Cassette MerlinBiomedical - Medical Device
FOR PROFESSIONAL USE
Cassette test used for the qualitative detection of SARS-CoV-2 antigen in human nasal swabs and nasopharyngeal swabs.
The test is intended for screening patients suspected of SARS-CoV-2 infection and as an aid in the diagnosis of coronavirus disease (COVID-19).
The cassette has a monophasic lateral flow chromatographic immunoassay. The reaction strip in the device includes: a conjugated buffer containing the anti-SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid protein antibody, the Chicken IgY antibody, all conjugated with colloidal gold and nitrocellulose membrane containing a test line (line T) and a control line (line C).
The T line is coated with nucleocapsid anti-SARS-CoV-2 protein antibody, when the sample is added, it migrates by capillary diffusion hydrating the gold conjugate, if present in the sample, the SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid protein and the its antibody labeled with antigen-antibody complexes formed by orocolloidal. These complexes will continue to migrate along the strip to the T line, where they are captured by the anti-SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid protein antibody generating a red-violet line visible in the T line. If the sample does not contain SARS-CoV-2 or the SARS-CoV-2 level is below the minimum detection level of the test, the T line will not appear.
Line C is coated with goat anti-chicken antibodies, which should bind to the gold-chicken IgY antibody conjugate and form a red-violet line regardless of the presence of the SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid protein in the sample.
How to use
Do not open the pouch until you are ready to test and it is recommended to use the disposable test in low ambient humidity conditions (RH ≤70%) within 1 hour.
Samples should be analyzed as soon as possible after collection (within 1 hour) and at room temperature (15-30 ° C).
After dipping the swab into the extraction solution, the sample must be analyzed within 30 minutes.
