INgezim® Covid 19 Chrome: SARS-CoV-2 antibody detection test (5 tests) - VARIOUS

Covid-19 antibody test: INgezim Covid 19 Chrom

INgezim Covid 19 Crom is an immediate and reliable solution.

It is a dual recognition immunochromatographic assay capable of detecting SARS-CoV-2 specific antibodies in serum and blood samples.

It is a rapid, "point-of-care" test, i.e. it can be carried out outside the laboratory.

what does the INgezim Covid 19 Crom antibody test include?

• The immunochromatographic strips are supplied in a plastic casing for easy handling when performing occasional and customised assays.
• Each plastic housing is individually packaged in a sealed envelope.
• The kit consists of:
  • 5 individually packaged immunochromatographic devices.
  • Blister of 5 single doses.
  • 6 micropipettes.
  • 6 lancets.

  The Covid-19 test can be performed using:

  • Fresh blood samples obtained at the time, from punctures with the lancet provided in the kit.
  • Blood samples obtained by venous puncture. In these cases, the use of anticoagulants is recommended (to avoid clots that may interfere with the assay). These samples may be kept at 4 °C until use, for a maximum period of 48 hours.
  • Fresh serum or plasma samples kept at 4 °C or frozen at -20 °C.
  • The use of heat-inactivated samples is not recommended.

  COVID-19: how to perform the INgezim Covid 19 Crom rapid test?

  1. Use the lancet to lightly prick the tip of the finger.
  2. Sample collection: place the supplied pipette over the drop of blood and fill the reservoir (20 μL). If the blood sample is already in a tube, use the pipette in the same way.
  3. Perform the test immediately, to prevent the blood from clotting in the capillary tube.
  4. Place the drop into the circular window of the device by covering the hole in the capillary tube and gently pressing the top of the pipette.
  5. Wait 1 minute for the sample to absorb and slowly add 3 drops of the supplied chromatography buffer. Wait between drops for the liquid to be absorbed into the membrane.
  6. Interpret the result 10 minutes after adding the chromatography buffer.

  
  

  *As a serological test, this tool is complementary to the direct detection of the pathogen and can help to collect epidemiological information on the prevalence of the disease.

  
  

  *They are intended for use by healthcare professionals as they are NOT a self-testing product.

  
  

  *As long as it is under the supervision of health professionals, it can be used in companies, laboratories, hospitals, dental clinics, nursing homes and occupational risk prevention.
