Many people may have a question like this:Can i test for the Novel Coronavirus at home?
The answer is yes.You can choose SARS-CoV-2 antigen detection kits to test novel coronavirus at home.
The significance of SARS-CoV-2 antigen detection
The SARS-CoV-2 antigen test can directly detect whether the human sample contains the new coronavirus, the diagnosis is fast and accurate, and the requirements for equipment and personnel are low. The double-antibody sandwich method is used, and two antigen-specific antibodies are used to identify and bind to a target. Different epitopes of the antigen can greatly reduce the probability of cross-reaction, thereby effectively improving its specificity. The cost of antigen detection is lower, it is easy to produce, and the detection speed is very fast, which is suitable for a wide range of COVID-19 detection,you can even do it at home.
Principles of SARS-CoV-2 Antigen Detection
The detection of SARS-COV-2 antigen uses colloidal gold. The N protein of the SARS-COV-2 can be used as an immunogen to stimulate plasma cells to produce specific antibodies after the virus infects the human body. According to the principle of double-antibody sandwich ELISA, the sample is dripped on the sample pad, and then passed through the binding pad by liquid chromatography, the detection line (T line) and the quality control line (C line) on the NC membrane. The binding pad contains a labeled antigen-specific antibody that can bind to the antigen (viral protein) in the sample. When the liquid stream reaches the detection line (T line), the second antigen-specific antibody is fixed on this line Binding to the antigen again will show a positive result. The quality control line (line C) is coated with IgY antibody, which can be combined with the antibody in the sample pad to determine whether the chromatography process is smooth.
