A FAST & SENSITIVE ANTIGEN TEST FOR COVID-19
PerkinElmer® COVID-19 Antigen Test
Finally – A Simple, Rapid, and Reliable Test for COVID-19
The PerkinElmer COVID-19 Antigen Test is a CE marked in vitro diagnostic device for the qualitative detection of SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid protein antigen in nasal or nasopharyngeal swab specimens. The lateral flow immunoassay test can be used to screen or aid in the diagnosis of COVID-19 in asymptomatic or symptomatic individuals. A positive or negative result can be obtained as early as 15 minutes to facilitate immediate isolation or treatment decisions.
The test is ideally suited for point-of-care (POC) clinical and non-clinical settings such as healthcare centers, travel hubs, businesses and educational institutions. Clinical studies in symptomatic and asymptomatic populations, including individuals with low viral load, have shown sensitivity >97% amongst all samples. Specificity of the test across 202 negative samples was 100%, which means no false positives were identified.
Simple: Easy-to-use test. No equipment required.
Rapid: Results in minutes

HOW DOES THE PERKINELMER COVID-19 ANTIGEN TEST WORK?

The PerkinElmer COVID-19 Antigen Test is a direct, sandwich-based lateral flow immunoassay. The SARS-CoV-2 target protein is captured between two complementary antibodies. One of these anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies is conjugated to the detection reagent and is held at the conjugate release pad, while the other antibody is immobilized at the test line on the membrane.
