ANTIGEN TESTING (PCR)
THE SCIENCE
ACCURACY
The back to lab antigen test looks for the presence of the COVID-19 virus to determine if someone has COVID-19 at the point in time the test is taken.
The virus is detectable at highest accuracy 1-3 days after symptoms appear. The test can also pickup SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) up to two days prior to symptoms appearing and 5 days post symptoms appearing.
Please note that this test does not indicate whether you have had the COVID-19 virus recently or in the past.
The Antigen test we provide at DNA Priorities has been trialed extensively and found to have the following accuracy:
Sensitivity 98% - confirming almost all cases of active COVID-19 virus are detected
Specificity 100% - confirming no false positives
A positive test confirms infection however a negative test does not rule out the person having COVID-19 in all capacities. All negative tests should be repeated if the patient is showing symptoms.
RAPID COVID-19 ANTIBODY TEST
THE SCIENCE
If while testing you receive positive IgM or positive IgM and IgG you will need to follow the process of isolation and the guidelines of local and national authorities.
If the test is negative a second test is advised 14 days later. It is recommended that companies test staff either weekly, monthly or quarterly depending on the specific requirements. This test provides results in 15-minutes.
ACCURACY
The COVID-19 Antibody Test is designed to only determine if someone has the antibodies to COVID-19. It is not to detect if you currently have COVID-19. This test is only to be used after 14 days of symptom onset.
The Antibody Testing can provide four (4) results:
1.Negative - meaning the participant does not have the antibodies for the COVID-19 virus
2.Positive IgM - meaning the participant has the IgM antibody, indicating initial stage of infection
3.Positive IgG - meaning the participant has the IgG antibody and they have been exposed to COVID-19 in the past and therefore there is potential immunity against COVID-19 and;
4.Positive IgM and IgG - meaning the participant has both the IgM and IgG antibodies and confirms it is a later stage of infection: typically at 7+ days after symptoms appear
COVID-19 BACK TO LAB
ANTIBODY TESTING
THE SCIENCE
The COVID-19 Antibody Test is designed to determine if a person has produced the antibodies as a defence to
COVID-19.
The back to lab antibody test is designed to detect if an individual has the IgG antibody, specific to SARS-CoV-2 virus. This test is done 21 days+ after initial symptoms. It is important to note that for some people, they may not have had symptoms yet can still develop the antibodies if they were infected.
The test can be carried out on anyone and is offered by a Phlebotomist collection appointment. Test results are returned typically 2-3 working days from when samples are received by the laboratory.
