Testing principles of the test kits:
The four COVID test kits above all utilize the principle of immuno-chromatography. There are two strips of chromatographic paper coated with different antigen complexes on each sample test strip (sample test tray). One control band (C) and one test strip (T). Antibodies on the T strip will bind to the coronavirus-specific antibody (if present), and cause a color display.
When the sample is dropped onto the test strip, the antibody diffuses gradually onto the 2 chromatographic paper strips. The colored band (C) indicates that the test was done correctly, while the T band is colored only when antibodies specific to coronavirus are detected.
However, each test will have a separate instructions manual. Please contact Docosan to order a rapid at-home COVID test kit with instructions for use. Our at-home tests offer simple sample collection, fast shipping, and doctor-reviewed insights from your phone.
To help people to detect the presence of COVID and help reduce the burden on testing facilities Docosan provides the above-mentioned tests licensed by the Ministry of Health. If the results are negative people need to continue following the state’s epidemic prevention directive to avoid infection after testing. If there is a positive result, please go to the nearest hospital for a confirmatory PCR test.
