Rapid antigen test detects covid-19 in 15 minutes

A BioJam, following the legislation for In Vitro Diagnostic Medical Devices, has already notified the National Authority of Medicines and Health Products, I.P. (Infarmed) about the distribution of NADAL COVID-19 Ag rapid antigen tests, an antigen rapid test that allows detection from the first 24 hours of contagion with results in just 15 minutes.

This test allows detection from the first 24 hours of contagion, a virus protein that allows determining the infection, thus filling a gap in rapid diagnosis in the initial phase of infection, as this test has a detection window similar to PCR tests.

Test results are obtained in just 15 minutes, without the need for instrumentation, significantly reducing false positives generated by contamination from other tests.

The tests are manufactured in Germany and provide essential information at the time of the infection period when there is a higher risk of disease transmission.

It is done with a simple device that detects the presence of a substance in a liquid sample without the need for specialized and expensive equipment.
