Quick covid test |How does covid testing work?

Posted on by

A new covid test at home has been authorized by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for emergency use (EUA).

Here’s what you need to know about testing at home.

How can I get quick covid test?

Cell medical’s covid test at home now has a prescription, which means Americans can get one from their health care provider.

If doctors suspect that their patient is infected with covid – 19 within the first six days of symptom onset, they can prescribe a rapid test.

How does testing work?

Rapid Antigen Test is a lateral flow test, a portable covid test that usually returns results faster than the widely used laboratory based PCR test.

It works by detecting nasal swab samples and provides positive or negative results within 10 minutes. The results appear on test strips exposed to nasal swab samples.

The FDA said flocked swab can be collected from people aged 8 and over, but if the tested children are less than 14 years old, it should be collected by adults.

How accurate is the test?

Cell medical claimed that the time when the positive results of the test matched the PCR test was 84.8%, and the negative results matched the PCR test were 99.1%.

FDA said that the negative test results of covid test do not necessarily exclude the possibility of covid – 19 infection.

“and should not be used as the only basis for treatment or patient management decisions, including infection control decisions.

“People who are negative and continue to experience COVID 19, have a fever, cough and / or shortness of breath, may still have SARS – CoV – 2 infection. Follow up care should be sought from doctors or medical staff. ”

Not all side flow tests require the use of prescriptions. On December 15, the FDA issued the EUA for the first outside counter flow covid test at home.

The covid – 19 family test also uses nasal swab samples to detect covid infection and works with people aged 2 years and older.

The FDA said that in the population with covid symptoms, the ellume test correctly identified 96% of positive samples and 100% of negative samples. In the population without symptoms, it collected 91% of positive samples and 96% of negative samples.

Similarly, the FDA said that the negative results of the test do not necessarily exclude the possibility of covid infection.

Broader prospects

According to CDC data, as of Monday, the United States had reported 47.5million cases of covid and 778,316 deaths.

The data also showed that 432 million people were vaccinated on Monday.

What elements should a good sampling swab meet？

2021-11-04

In the collection of virus samples, small sampling swabs are always ignored, and people often ignore the judgment of its quality. However, the sampling swab is the “vanguard” in the whole nucleic acid detection process. It is the first area to contact the virus. It can be said that it controls the “lifeblood” of the whole nucleic acid detection process.

sampling swab-flocked swb

Cell medical (Dongguan) believes that a good sampling swab should have three elements——

1: more samples. That is, the virus samples collected by the sampling swab should be as many as possible.

2: release more. That is, the virus samples collected by the sampling swab should be released into the sampling solution as much as possible.

3: excellent design. That is, the design of sampling swab shall not interfere with the nucleic acid detection in the last link.

It is well known that after large-scale nucleic acid screening, the previously commonly used winding swabs were eliminated, and flocking swabs that are easier to collect release samples were used.

However, it is not enough to unify the material.

The design of flocking swab is also very exquisite in structure.

Different nylon fiber arrangement and density determine the difference of sample collection and release.

A good swab can avoid missing inspection to a greater extent.

viral transport medium with swab | COVID-19 sampling and collection kits

The epidemic has disrupted the whole world and affected many industries.

During the outbreak of  COVID-19, people were paying close attention to the epidemic situation while doing personal protection. Novel coronavirus pneumonia and influenza were the most frequent period of communication in winter and spring. The most important way to control the epidemic is to select new patients with new crown pneumonia from many respiratory patients.

About viral transport medium with swab.

Swabs and virus transport media are a transport and collection system for long-term freezing, transport and collection of clinical specimens containing viruses.

The main species of organisms usually transported through this medium include chlamydia, urea plasma organisms and mycoplasma.

With the outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic, swabs and virus transport mediums were used to freeze and collect SARS-CoV-19 virus samples.

Rub a swab on the skin or vesicles to collect virus samples. The collected samples are then sent to the laboratory with transport media.

Why do swabs need virus transport media？

After virus collection, the traditional method can not be detected by PCR immediately. The virus itself will quickly dissolve in vitro and affect subsequent tests.

viral transport medium with swab -vtm kits

Purpose of virus transport media:

1. For monitoring and sampling infectious pathogenic microorganisms by disease control departments and clinical departments. It is applicable to the sampling of influenza virus (ordinary influenza, highly pathogenic avian influenza, influenza A H1N1 virus, etc.), hand, foot and mouth virus and other types of viruses.

2.For the sampling of mycoplasma, chlamydia and Ureaplasma.

3.. To transport nasopharyngeal swab samples or tissue samples at specific parts from the sampling site to the detection laboratory for PCR extraction and detection.

4.To preserve nasopharyngeal swab samples or tissue samples at specific sites for necessary cell culture.

Precautions for sample transportation.

1. Inspection time and temperature control:

After samples sampling, for inspection as soon as possible and sent to the laboratory within 2 ~ 4H as far as possible.

Transport at 2 ~ 8 ℃, and the transport time shall not exceed 72h. If it exceeds 72h, stored and transported at – 70 ℃ or lower.

2. Viral transport medium transport container:
