Understanding
Covid-19 and
Rapid Antibody
Tests
What is an Antibody Test? Picture viruses like COVID-
19 as a bunch of bad guys invading your body.
Once the alarm bells sounds,
two teams of superheroes -
which we call antibodies -
mobilize to fight off the invaders.
Superhero team 1 - called Immunoglobulin M, or IgM, goes out
after viral exposure about 3 - 7 days after being exposed to the
virus.
A PCR nasal swab tests for
active viral infection, and just tells
you if you're currently sick.
Our antibody test looks at both teams, so we can tell if you've been exposed, are
currently sick, or already had the infection; and, best of all, we can tell if you've got
enough of team 2 in place to keep you safe from spreading the virus, or getting
reinfected.
U.S.-based Medsential is now
offering COVID-19 IgM/IgG
rapid antibody tests to point of
care providers.
With Covid cases reaching an all-time high, Medsential is able
to supply high volumes of these antibody tests.
Medsential is an FDA-registered
medical device company and is
operating in compliance with the
FDA.
"We are thrilled to have a point of care rapid antibody
test now available.
We know hospitals, medical offices,
and other point of care providers have
been eager to make these available to
their patients to provide peace of
mind," said Doris Hui, CEO of
Medsential.
"We have several national clients who will distribute these tests on a national level; with so many
Covid hotspots, this option will be greatly welcomed." "Our rapid test kits show three levels of
antibody build-up, unlike many other antibody tests that show only one," said Hui.
"This allows for more accurate
identification of community
spread and exposure to
coronavirus.
