Test Principles
The CareStart™ COVID-19 Antigen Test is a lateral flow immunochromatographic assay for the detection of extracted nucleocapsid protein antigens specific to SARS-CoV-2 in swab specimens directly collected from symptomatic individuals who are suspected of COVID-19 by their healthcare providers.
Instructions for Use
- Peel off aluminum foil seal and rotate the swab inside the extraction vial vigorously at least 5 times.
- Remove the swab by rotating against the extraction vial while squeezing the sides of the vial to release the liquid from the swab. Properly discard the swab.
- Close the vial by pushing the cap firmly onto the vial and mix thoroughly by flicking the bottom of the tube.
- Invert the extraction vial and hold the sample vertically above the sample well. Squeeze the vial gently. Allow three (3) drops of sample to fall into the sample well.
