Product Details and Usage
COVID-19 antigen detection reagents can be used for the in vitro qualitative detection of COVID-19 antigens via nasopharyngeal swabs, oropharyngeal swabs, or nasal swabs. The negative results of antigen detection cannot exclude COVID-19 infection, and nucleic acid detection is still the diagnosis basis for COVID-19 infection.-Fineline Info & Tech
