nasal swabs for covid testing

Why we need Corona Virus Test Kit?

After the new coronavirus infects the human body, it will "settle" in the nasal cavity, pharynx, lower respiratory tract, etc., and reproduce. By collecting nasopharyngeal swabs, sputum and other specimens for viral nucleic acid detection, it can be determined whether the human body is infected with the new coronavirus. Carrying out nucleic acid detection of the new coronavirus in the population is of great significance for early diagnosis and treatment, and epidemic prevention and control. Nucleic acid testing among close contacts and the general public can help early detection of people infected with the new coronavirus, especially those who have been infected with the virus but have not yet developed symptoms, so as to facilitate early isolation and treatment measures. It can not only avoid infecting others, but also reduce the risk of serious illness caused by the development of its own disease.

This nasal swab rapid test is a gold immuno-chromatographic assay (GICA) that is intended for the qualitative detection of the nucleocapsid protein antigen from virus in nasopharyngeal (NP) swab, nasal (NS) swab, and saliva specimens directly from individuals.
