【PRODUCT NAME】
SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) Antigen Rapid Test Kit (Colloidal Gold)
【PACKAGE SPECIFICATION】
25 tests/kit & 50 tests/kit.
【INTENDED USE】
This kit is intended to be used for the qualitative detection of SARS-CoV-2 antigen in human
respiratory specimens, sputum, and other samples. This kit uses a cellulose membrane
immunochromatography technology.
Antigen detection is used for auxiliary diagnosis or epidemiological investigation of human
infection with SARS-CoV-2.
The COVID-19 Antigen Rapid Test Device is a rapid visual immunoassay
for the qualitative, presumptive detection of COVID-19 antigens from throat
swabs and nasopharyngeal swab specimens. The test is intended for use
as an aid in the rapid differential diagnosis of acute COVID-19 virus
infection.
An antigen test reveals if a person is currently infected with a pathogen such as
the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Once the infection has gone, the antigen disappears.
Unlike nucleic acid based tests such as PCR, which detect the presence of genetic
material, antigen tests detect proteins or glycans, such as the spike proteins found
on the surface of the SARS-CoV-2 virus.
They can take longer to develop than molecular and antibody tests, as suitable
antibodies for use in the assays must first be identified and produced, which can
be a complex and time-consuming process. Accuracy can also be a problem, with
antigen tests typically having a much lower sensitivity than PCR.
However, they usually provide test results rapidly, are relatively cheap, and can be
more amenable to point-of-care use, which could make them more suitable for
testing in the community and in remote regions.
All COVID-19 tests start with a sample, but the scientific process goes very differently
after that.
At this point in the pandemic, you or someone you know has probably received
at least one COVID-19 test. But do you know which kind of test you got and the
strengths and weaknesses of these different tests?
Two major types of tests are used to diagnose infection with SARS-CoV-2:
molecular tests – better known as PCR tests – and antigen tests. Each detects a
different part of the virus, and how it works influences the test’s speed and relative
accuracy. So, what are the differences between these types of tests?
PCR tests are extremely accurate but require special lab equipment – like the PCR
heating machine seen here – and can take hours or days to perform.
Looking for genetic evidence
The first step for either kind of test is to get a sample from the patient. This can be
a nasal swab or a bit of saliva.
For PCR tests, the next step is amplification of genetic material so that even a small
amount of coronavirus genes in the patient’s sample can be detected. This is done
using a technique called a polymerase chain reaction. A health care worker takes
the sample and treats it with an enzyme that converts RNA into
double-stranded DNA. Then, the DNA is mixed with a solution containing an
enzyme called a polymerase and heated, causing the DNA to separate into two
single-stranded DNA pieces. The temperature is lowered, and polymerase, with the
help of a small piece of guide DNA called a primer, binds to the single-stranded
DNA and copies it. The primers ensure that only coronavirus DNA is amplified.
You’ve now created two copies of coronavirus DNA from the original one piece of RNA.
Laboratory machines repeat these heating and cooling cycles 30 to 40 times, doubling
the DNA until there are a billion copies of the original piece. The amplified sequence
contains fluorescent dye that is read by a machine.
The amplifying property of PCR allows the test to successfully detect even the smallest
amount of coronavirus genetic material in a sample. This makes it a highly sensitive
and accurate test. With accuracy that approaches 100%, it is the gold standard for
diagnosing SARS–CoV–2.
However, PCR tests have some weaknesses too. They require a skilled laboratory
technician and special equipment to run them, and the amplification process can
take an hour or more from start to finish. Usually only large, centralized testing
facilities – like hospital labs – can conduct many PCR tests at a time. Between sample
collection, transportation, amplification, detection and reporting, it can take from
12 hours to five days for a person to get results back. And finally, they aren’t cheap
at $100 or more per test.
Rapid Antigen tests
Rapid, accurate tests are essential to contain a highly contagious virus like SARS-CoV-2.
PCR tests are accurate but can take a long time to produce results. Antigen tests,
the other major type of coronavirus test, while much faster, are less accurate.
Antigens are substances that cause the body to produce an immune response –
they trigger the generation of antibodies. These tests use lab-made antibodies to
search for antigens from the SARS-CoV-2 virus.
To run an antigen test, you first treat a sample with a liquid containing salt and soap
that breaks apart cells and other particles. Then you apply this liquid to a test strip
that has antibodies specific to SARS-CoV-2 painted on it in a thin line.
Just like antibodies in your body, the ones on the test strip will bind to any antigen
in the sample. If the antibodies bind to coronavirus antigens, a colored line appears
on the test strip indicating the presence of SARS-CoV-2.
Antigen tests have a number of strengths. First, they are so easy to use that people
with no special training can perform them and interpret the results – even at home.
They also produce results quickly, typically in less than 15 minutes. Another benefit
is that these tests can be relatively inexpensive at around $10-$15 per test.
Antigen tests do have some drawbacks. Depending on the situation, they can be
less accurate than PCR tests. When a person is symptomatic or has a lot of virus in
their system, antigen tests are very accurate. However, unlike molecular PCR tests,
antigen tests don’t amplify the thing they are looking for. This means there needs to
be enough viral antigen in the sample for the antibodies on the test strip to generate
a signal. When a person is in the early stages of infection, not a lot of virus is in the
nose and throat, from which the samples are taken. So, antigen tests can miss early
cases of COVID-19. It’s also during this stage that a person has no symptoms, so
they are more likely to be unaware they’re infected.
Understanding the strengths and limitations of both PCR and antigen tests, and
when to use them, can help to bring the COVID-19 pandemic under control.
So, the next time you get a COVID-19 test, choose the one that is right for you.
COVID-19 RAPID ANTIGEN TEST
The COVID-19 rapid antigen test detects protein fragments specific to the
Coronavirus. Rapid antigen testing is a faster way to detect if you have a current
COVID-19 infection. Rapid antigen testing may be helpful for those who want
quick results to meet a testing requirement for an event or travel. For example,
this test can be used if you plan to visit a location or establishment that requires
testing prior to arrival. Testing requirements vary by location and may change
over time. This test requires a nasal or nasopharyngeal swab. With our product
testing, results may come back in as soon as 10 – 15 minutes.
Common COVID-19 symptoms include fever, cough, and shortness of breath.
How the test works?
A sample is collected through a nasal or throat swab and mixed with
a solution. The solution is then placed onto an indicator device that may
detect the presence of the virus that causes COVID-19.
Test Purpose: Used to detect an active infection.
Sample Type: Nasal or Nasopharyngeal Swab
Results Time: 10 – 15 Minutes*
(Wait times may vary depending on volume)
All COVID-19 tests start with a sample, but the scientific process goes very

relative accuracy. So, what are the differences between these types of tests?
PCR tests are extremely accurate but require special lab equipment – like the PCR
heating machine seen here – and can take hours or days to perform.
Rapid antigen tests offer a quick and easy way to screen for COVID-19 at home.
In about 15 minutes, they detect active infections via a nasal swab, including in
asymptomatic individuals. Often called “rapid tests” or “at-home COVID tests,”
these rapid antigen tests can be a valuable tool for managing life during the pandemic
—if you can get your hands on one.
Rapid antigen tests are used as a test to diagnose COVID-19.
This means that if you test positive using a rapid antigen test, your result
does not need to be confirmed with a PCR test.
In only 15 minutes, you will have the results you need to confidently return to work,
school, sports and all the things you love to do, with the ability to store and share
our family's and your test results from Renji Antigen Rapid Test.

【PRINCIPLE】
The kit adopts cellulose membrane immunochromatography technology and applies the
principle of membrane chromatography double antibody sandwich method to detect the
SARS-CoV-2 antigens in human samples. The product consists of a sample well and detection
the area on the Detection Strip. The Detection strip contains coated anti-SARS-CoV-2 monoclonal
antibody, colloidal gold particles labeled with anti-SARS-CoV-2 a monoclonal antibody, and
goat anti-mouse polyclonal antibody. When SARS-CoV-2 antigens are present in the sample,
the SARS-CoV-2 antigens will combine with the colloidal gold-labeled anti-SARS-CoV-2
a monoclonal antibody will be captured by the coated anti-SARS-CoV-2 monoclonal antibody.
When the viral antigen crosses the T region of the detection line, it will be captured by the
coated anti-coronavirus. A monoclonal antibody will gather and develop color in the detection
area. Conversely, if SARS-CoV-2 antigens are not present in the sample or the antigen titer
is below the limit of detection, there will be no color band appearance on the detection line and
the result will be negative. Regardless of whether the sample contains antigens of the
SARS-CoV-2, a color band should appear on the quality control region (C region) line of the
detection area. The quality control band is the standard for judging whether the inspection
process is normal and it also serves as the internal control standard for the Detection Strip.

【EXPERIMENT WORKFLOW】
Please read the instruction for use carefully before using this kit. All reagents should be
incubated at room temperature (10-30°C) for 30 minutes prior to use. The test should be
carried out at room temperature and the operation procedure is described below:
1. Open the sealed bag and remove the Detection Strip. Mark the sample ID on the test strip
and lay the strip flat on the table.
2. Specimen collection
1). Carefully insert the swab into the nostril of the patient, reaching the surface of the posterior
nasopharynx, that presents the most secretion under visual inspection.
2). Swab over the surface of the posterior nasopharynx. Rotate the swab several times.
3). Withdraw the swab from the nasal cavity.
3. Sample preparation
1). Insert the sample diluent tube into the pipe rack, make sure that the tube is standing firm
and reaches the bottom of the pipe rack.
2). Open the purple cap of the sample diluent tube. Insert the swab into the diluent tube which
contains 0.5 mL of the diluent buffer. Roll the swab at least 6 times while pressing the head
against the bottom and side of the diluent tube.
3). Leave the swab in the diluent tube for 1 minute.
4). Squeeze the tube several times with fingers from outside of the tube to immerse the swab.
Remove the swab, close the cap. The diluent solution will be used as test sample.
5). Open the small cap on the top of the sample dilution tube. Add 3-4 drops (~100 μL) of the
sample diluent buffer immediately to the sample well.
6). Allow the strip to develop for 10-15 minutes at room temperature. A visible band can be
read by naked eyes.
【RESULTS ANALYSIS】
The interpretation of visual interpretation results (as shown below):
1. The results can be read directly by naked eyes as shown in the figures below: Positive result:
a visible band can be seen in both line C and line T.
2. Negative result: A visible band can be seen in line C only.
3. Invalid result: A visible band cannot be seen in the line C, and the test must be repeated
using a new strip.
【MANAGEMENT OF RESULTS】
【REPORTING YOUR RESULT】
You are legally required to report all positive rapid antigen test results. You must
report your positive result if you get your test from a designated RAT Collection
Point, from a retail outlet, from your workplace or through any other means
(i.e. over the internet).
You can also report negative and invalid test results to help provide a full picture
of rates of COVID-19 testing in the state.
【WHAT DO I DO IF I HAVE A POSITIVE RESULT?】
【WHAT DO I DO IF I HAVE A NEGATIVE RESULT?】
If you are close contact with no COVID-19 symptoms and test negative, you do not
need to get a PCR test to confirm your result.
If you have COVID-19 symptoms and test negative, you must get a PCR test to
confirm your result. Rapid antigen tests are not as sensitive as PCR tests, which
means that just because you have a negative result in a rapid antigen test, it does
not mean that you do not have COVID-19.
【CUT-OFF VALUE】
1. Determination of the cut-off value, the product is a qualitative detection kit of antigens to
the SARS-CoV-2. When the quality control line (C line) and the test line (T line) are formed,
regardless of a weak T line, as long as it is visible to the normal naked eyes, the test result
should be judged as positive.
2. The test for the normal population should be negative. Positive test results indicate that an
individual may have been exposed to SARS-CoV-2, and should be combined with clinical
symptoms and other diagnostic results for further confirmation.
【INTERPRETATION OF TEST RESULTS】
1. Common mistakes that may lead to false-positive or negative results include: the kit is used
after its expiration; the kit has been improperly stored; the operating temperature is too low
(<4°C) or too high (>30°C); the procedures outlined in this protocol were not strictly adhered to.
2. Any final clinical interpretation should consider a combination of test results, clinical
symptoms, and other indicators.
【LIMITATIONS OF INSPECTION METHODS】
1. If the patient has clinical symptoms but the test result is negative, it is recommended to use
the PCR method for confirmation and the doctor will make a comprehensive judgment to
confirm the diagnosis. The negative result cannot be the only evidence to rule out the
SARS-CoV-2 infection.
2. The product can only be used for clinical diagnosis and on-site screening of the SARS-CoV-2.
The positive results of all Detection Strips must be confirmed by a qualified laboratory. The
positive result of antigen detection should be combined with other clinical features to ensure
an accurate diagnosis.
3. In order to ensure the accuracy of the SARS-CoV-2 antigens detection, high temperature
and humidity must be avoided.
【PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS】
1. Coincidence rate of negative reference: test 15 SARS-CoV-2 antigen-negative references with
the kit. The coincidence rate of 15 negative references should be 100%.
2. Coincidence rate of positive reference: test 5 SARS-CoV-2 antigen-positive references with
the kit. The coincidence rate of 5 positive references should be 100%.
3. Limit of detection (LOD): test 3 LOD references with the kit. S1 can be positive or negative
and S2~S3 should be positive.
4. Reproducibility: test 2 repeatable references R1 and R2 for 10 times with the kit, the results
should be all negative for R1 and positive for R2.
5. Inter-run variability: test 2 repeatable references R1 and R2 10 times with 3 batches of kits,
the results should be consistently and all negative for R1 and positive for R2.
