With the thread of COVID-19 from all over the world, and the novel coronaviruses belong to the β genus. COVID-19 is an acute respiratory infectious disease. People are generally susceptible. Currently, the patients infected by the novel coronavirus are the main source of infection; asymptomatic infected people can also be an infectious source. Based on the current epidemiological investigation, the incubation period is 1 to 14 days, mostly 3 to 7 days. The main manifestations include fever, fatigue and dry cough. Nasal congestion, runny nose, sore throat, myalgia and diarrhea are found in a few cases, so the requirements of COVID-19 test kits become more and more urgent. There are lots of supplier devote their COVID-19 into the market.
Nevertheless, the report pointed out that the current nucleic acid detection (PCR) of the new coronavirus can only determine whether a person has been infected. Antibody testing is considered critical by epidemiologists because it will for the first time make a realistic estimate of the number of people infected with the new coronavirus. But it is extremely difficult to achieve 100% accuracy.
In order to cater to the needs in international markets, new type of COVID-19 test kits was published into the market by Konsung medical.
The working principle of Novel Coronavirus COVID-19 IgM/IgG Test Kit (Colloidal Gold) is based on the principle of capture immunoassay for determination of SARS- CoV-2 IgG and IgM antibodies in human whole blood, serum, plasma. When the specimen is added into the test device, the specimen is absorbed into the device by capillary action. The value of sensitivity has already reached to 91.54%, the value of specificity has already reached 97.02%, and the total clinical coincidence rate has already reached to 95.09%. High accuracy of test results attracted more and more customer to buy in the world.
