Product Manufacturing Process
The antigen rapid test cassette swab is produced following stringent ISO9001 and ISO13485 quality control standards. The manufacturing process involves coating anti-SARS-CoV-2 monoclonal antibodies on the test line and conjugating them with colloidal gold. The specimen interacts with these antibodies, migrating through capillary action to form a visible test line if the antigen is present. This mechanism ensures both accuracy and reliability in antigen detection, making it indispensable in urgent public health scenarios.
Product Application Scenarios
Antigen rapid test cassette swabs are critical in environments requiring swift diagnosis, such as hospitals, airports, and schools. Their ability to quickly identify cases during pandemics aids in controlling viral transmission. Despite their lower sensitivity compared to PCR tests, their rapid turnaround time and ease of use make them a valuable tool in resource-limited settings and situations necessitating immediate public health decisions. Their application is particularly beneficial in mass screening and monitoring of infectious diseases.
