Summary of Antigen Testing

COVID-19 Antigen Tests are designed to detect protein antigen from the SARS-CoV-2 virus from nasal specimen samples. Antigen tests can detect the SARS-CoV-2 virus during the active phase of the infection. The collection process is only a couple of steps, and the results are directly onsite in about 15 minutes with no machinery required. Individuals can quickly and effectively test themselves and receive immediate results to help facilitate timely treatment decisions when using a rapid antigen test kit.
Similar to a PCR test, rapid antigen tests can detect the presence of the SARS-CoV-2 virus during the acute stage infection. Although much more efficient in providing timely results, rapid antigen tests can have a lower sensitivity rating when compared to PCR testing, Any negative result on a rapid antigen test should be verified with a PCR test confirmation to appropriately diagnose and treat the case.
