SG Diagnostics COVID-19 Antigen Rapid Test Kit (Self Test)

The SG Diagnostics COVID-19 Antigen Rapid Test Kit (Colloidal Gold-Based) is a single-use test kit intended to detect the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 that causes COVID-19. This test is intended for use with self-collected nasal or oropharyngeal (throat) swab samples in individuals who are suspected of COVID-19. This test utilizes a lateral flow immunoassay technology for the qualitative detection of spike and nucleocapsid protein antigens of SARS-CoV-2 in individuals with known or suspected COVID-19.
