About the Test

A lateral flow antigen test detects proteins from the SARS-CoV-2 virus using a swab sample taken from the nose or throat. The sample is applied to a cartridge and a visible line appears if antigens are present. Tests are quick, minimally invasive, and ideal for identifying potentially infectious individuals. Our staff ensure correct sampling technique and interpret results, offering advice and documentation when needed.
