SARS CORONAVIRUS (COVID-19) TESTING

ANTIGEN TESTING

Innovative Gx Laboratories background

Antigen testing examines the viral proteins on the surface of the virus and is dose dependent on the amount of virus and timing of testing/virus infection.

REVERSE TRANSCRIPTION POLYMERASE CHAIN REACTION (RT PCR) TESTING

ANTIGEN VERSUS RT PCR BASED TESTING

Antigen

  • Examines the proteins on the virus.
  • Can be performed in as little as 15 minutes as a point of care test.
  • Is dose dependent (too little virus = negative result).
  • Can give false negative test results if not enough virus is present (such as early or late in the infection).

RT PCR

  • Examines the viral RNA in the virus itself.
  • Sample must be sent to the laboratory for molecular testing, IGx delivers results within 24 hours upon receipt by the laboratory.
  • Is not dose dependent (very small amount of RNA = positive result).
  • 99+% accuracy of testing results throughout the infection.
