About Antigen Testing
Antigen testing involves identifying the presence of a protein, which is known as the nucleocapsid protein, which is found in the SARS-CoV-2 virus. This form of testing involves collecting swabs from the nose before it is placed in a special solution and then added to the testing strip.
The test will then deliver results in just 15 minutes that determine whether an individual is positive or not. These tests can then be used to help contain the spread of the virus by identifying those who are carrying the virus, regardless of whether they are symptomatic or asymptomatic. What’s more, the tests have a specificity rate of 99.22% and a sensitivity of 96.72%, ensuring that they deliver reliable results.

Clinitest is a trademark of Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics and the company has a history of creating healthcare solutions for a range of requirements. The company has been given the CE mark of approval for the Clinitest Rapid COVID-19 Antigen test.
Clinitest has experience in creating rapid-response tests such as their pregnancy tests, which means that the experience is far-reaching. However, with rapid results, it enables communities and businesses to actively manage the spread and quickly act where positive cases are identified.
Who Can Buy These Antigen Covid Test Kits?
The tests can be utilised across any setting or industry, enabling businesses, education, and healthcare providers to actively monitor staff and personnel. Therefore, the kits cannot be purchased for home or personal use. This is because they must be used by a trained professional who understands what the test is about and what it’s limitations might be. Furthermore, it’s important that the individual administering the test has the ability to understand the complete clinical picture once the results have been determined.
