AFIAS COVID-19 Ag test

Quick antigen test kits optimized for on-site diagnosis with high accuracy

AFIAS COVID-19 Ag is an automatic fluorescence Immunoassay (FIA) for the qualitative detection of novel corona virus (eg, SARS-CoV-2, 2019-nCoV) in human nasopharyngeal swab. It is useful as an aid in management and monitoring of SARS-CoV-2 infection (COVID-19). This test is compatible with the AFIAS-1 and AFIAS-6 immunoassay systems.

* For in vitro diagnostic use only.

The AFIAS COVID-19 Ag test has a simple 3-step procedure

The AFIAS antigen test kit provides a fast and easy procedure for the qualitative detection of novel corona virus in human nasopharyngeal with only three steps:

  1. Insert the sterile swab used to collect the sample into the extraction tube and swirl 5 times.
  2. While squeezing the tube, pull the swab out.
  3. Assemble a nozzle and the extraction tube, and then fill the sample well completely with the sample mixture
COVID-19 Ag test procedure steps

After you inserted the AFIAS Antigen cartridge in your AFIAS-1 or AFIAS-6 system wait for 12 minutes. The results will pop-up on the screen and gets printed.
