COVID19Check-SAL
Antigenic Rapid Test - Saliva sample
It is non invasive and painless. It allows easy and hassle free multiple testing. Covid19Check-SAL detects the known variants of the Sars-Cov-2 virus.
The test
There is a critical, global need for rapid antigen test that can complement nucleic acid (PCR) tests for diagnosing SARS-CoV-2 infection. Although critically important, PCR tests are not always available and can last too long in obtaining the result due to the large amount of people who need testing.
Additionally there is growing concern about the acceptability of the very uncomfortable nasopharyngeal swab sampling, especially as testing it is becoming more frequent to secure most daily activities.
Covid19Check-SAL is an efficient and reliable solution to detect infection in cases where the viral load is significant (Ct <30) and the person is likely to be contagious.
Covid19Check-SAL is not only painless and hassle free, but also has a sensitivity of 97.6% for Ct values up to 36 (the CDC suggests that when the Ct value is >33, the subject is not contagious anymore)
It is particularly useful in cases where frequent testing is required thanks to is simple, clean and pain free saliva sampling method.
