What is the method of using the rapid self-test kit

1. Preparation rapid self test

Wash your hands with running water or hand sanitizer. After cleaning your hands, unpack the antigen test card and place it in a flat and clean place.


Learn about the testing process. Carefully read the supporting instructions of the antigen self-test reagent and related precautions for antigen self-test, check whether the antigen self-test reagent is within the shelf life, and check whether the contents of the nasal swab, sampling tube, test card, etc. are missing or damaged.


2. Sample collection

Carefully unpack the nasal swab and avoid touching the swab head with your hands. Then tilt your head slightly, hold the tail of the swab in one hand and stick it into one nostril, slowly go back along the bottom of the lower nasal passage for 1-1.5 cm, then stick it to the nasal cavity and rotate it at least 4 times (stay for no less than 15 seconds), then Repeat for the other nasal cavity using the same swab.


It should be noted that the antigen detection is the same as the nucleic acid detection, and the process of swabbing with a cotton swab is also very important during sampling. The sampling needs to reach a certain depth to collect the surface layer of the mucosa and exfoliated cells, and get the effective part. Insufficient depth or insufficient sampling frequency may affect the accuracy of the results.
